Your submission will cancel the redirect or vice versa.

I do not see the reason for the redirect in the first place since why do you have an order form that does nothing.

That said, here is how to do it. Firstly NEVER put code on the submit button but do it in the onsubmit, secondly return false to stop the submission

NOTE This code will IGNORE the action and ONLY execute the script due to the return false/preventDefault

function redirect() {
  window.location.replace("login.php");
  return false;
}

using

Or unobtrusively:

window.onload=function() {
  document.getElementById("form1").onsubmit=function() {
    window.location.replace("login.php");
    return false;
  }
}

using

jQuery:

$("#form1").on("submit",function(e) {
   e.preventDefault(); // cancel submission
   window.location.replace("login.php");
});

Example:

$("#form1").on("submit", function(e) {
  e.preventDefault(); // cancel submission
  alert("this could redirect to login.php"); 
});
