Post Form Action to variable inside form

I have the following form. I want to change the form action to include the variables inside this form, 500pxuserid. Is there a way to do this? For the user experience, I want to prevent a re-direct. Currently, I get the variable on the other side, and then re-route them a new url, but this required a re-direct.

      <form action="importphotos.php?view=500&mode=upload&page=1&u=&u2=&500pxuserid=" method="post">

    <div style="width:100%;height:45px;background-color:rgb(2,173,234);">
    <img style="width:30px;padding:10px;float:left;" src="https://photorankr.com/graphics/import_500pxicon.png" />
    <h3 style="font-weight:300;font-size:20px;text-align:left;padding-left:40px;margin-top:8px;color:white;float:left;">Login to 500px</h3>

    </div>

      <div style="width:90%;height:150px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(255,255,255);float:left;margin-top:-5px;">


    <input style="outline:none;padding:8px;border-radius:3px;font-size:18px;width:263px;float:left;border:1px rgb(100,100,100);border-style:solid; margin:8px; margin-left:16px;" placeholder = "Enter your 500px id" type="text" name="500pxuserid" />
    <input type="password" style="outline:none;padding:8px;border-radius:3px;font-size:18px;width:263px;float:left;border:1px rgb(100,100,100);border-style:solid; margin:8px; margin-left:16px;"  placeholder = "Enter your 500px password" type="text" name="500pxuserpassword" />

    <input class = "submitbox" type="submit">

    </div>




    </form>
  </div>

Using javascript you could change the form action on form submit (onsubmit).

<script type="text/javascript">
function get_action(form) {
    var user = document.getElementById('userid').value;
    form.action = "importphotos.php?view=500&mode=upload&page=1&u=&u2=&500pxuserid=" + user;
}
</script>

<form action="" method="post" onsubmit="get_action(this);">
  ...
   // add id=""userid" to input
  <input ... type="text" name="500pxuserid" id="userid" />
</form>

Three things:

It should look like this:

<form id="foo" onsubmit="foo();" ...

And your input:

<input id="bar" ...

And in your JavaScript add the following function:

function foo()
{
    var form = document.getElementById('foo'),
        bar = document.getElementById('bar');
    form.action = 'importphotos.php?view=500&mode=upload&page=1&u=&u2=&500pxuserid=' + bar.value; 
}

Also, keep in mind that this would only work if the user's browser has JavaScript enabled.
