enter credentials after the page is redirected to another page

I am new to JavaScript and web based programming languages. What I want to do is when someone opens a particular page the user must be redirected to another page and login details should be filled by the script . I don't know how to do that I have tried this:

window.location.replace("http://www.example.com/access/login/");
window.onLoad(function(){document.getElementById('username').value="xxxx"});

The problem it only redirects, but does not enter the details

You do not have to fill the text box. Just get the credentials from URL GET and pass it to login function. No doubt your login page must have a login function.

//First check if you have got credentials in URL
if(is_set($_GET['username']))
{
 Your_Login_Function($_GET['username']), $_GET['password']))
}

//Your Page Code Here

Your_Login_Function(username, password)
{
 //function process goes here
}

You cannot apply events to another page.

For example, you can pass this username through GET parameter:

window.location.replace("http://www.example.com/access/login/?username=" + "xxxx");

Then, in a access/login/ page you can insert this username using server-side language. For example, using PHP:

<input type="text" id="username" name="username" value="<?php echo $_GET['username']; ?>"/>

JavaScript can work with GET parameters as well, but it is much better idea to do this at server-side. If you don't have any server language, you can do this using JS:

var query = window.location.search.substr(1).split('=');

if (query.length === 0) return; // no username argument

if (query.length === 2 && query[0] === 'username') { 
  document.getElementById('username').value = query[1];
}

My solution is definitely not the best one, it is provided just for example. You can do this in your, more elegant and convenient way.
