HTML Form to post to external site

Hi - we would like to use WIX to build the public front end to our system. We currently have a simple html page with a form that posts to our internal site, and would like to replicate this. We see there is a way to embed HTML within an iFrame, but cannot see if/how we can simply add raw html to a page with our form code. Is this possible in WIX, or is that prevented due to security concerns? Thanks in advance for any information/suggestions.

You can’t embed HTML in a Corvid page. You might want to consider using an HtmlComponent . For more information, see the article Working with the HTML Component in Corvid .

You would be much better off creating the form using the Wix Editor, and adding whatever code is necessary to achieve your functionality. Building a form/page with Wix is super easy, and you’ll be able to build and develop much faster.

Thanks for the quick reply. I looked at adding a form, but could only see that they had templates (e.g. contact, subscribe, etc.) which had hooks for post-submission, but it looked like everything else used a default controller to handle the submission. Is there a way to use one of these forms, but then edit the actual method/action to have it post to?

See the User Input examples . There are a good number of forms examples.

Thanks - I’ve looked at the documentation and also the API, and I’m still having a hard time understanding where/how I can create a form independent of a data collection / data set, and just have a very basic form with two fields, user name and password, that submits to an external endpoint. Essentially all I’m trying to do is give one of our clients the ability to allow their users to log into our system from their site, which is built in WIX (we don’t use WIX). I can set up the user inputs / submit button fine - just missing the final piece of being able to specify what action the form will post to. Something extremely simple like replicating:

You will need to use the HtmlComponent for your purposes. For more information, see the article Working with the HTML Component in Corvid .
