// Works in chrome when the original login form does not "exist" anymore after push or ajax request
// So either remove (or hide) the form or try to change it's action url (didn't test but should work too)
// Also make sure all other forms within the same page point to a different action url
// otherwise they are considered as login form too.
e.target.parentNode.removeChild(e.target); // Or alternatively just hide the form: e.target.style.display = 'none';

// This is working too!!! (uncomment the history.xxxState(..) line above) (it works when the http response is a redirect or a 200 status)

//request.open('POST', '/success.html', true); // use a real url you have instead of '/success.html'
//request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8');
