You are essentially trying to post directly from your page, and this is
prohibited by Twitter due to previous abuse. If you absolutely must retain
full control over the posting process, you will need a script that does the
posting through the API like any other client (and like any other client will
need to handle authentication, etc.).
If this is not so critical, then a URL like
https://twitter.com/home?status=this+will+populate+the+input+box
will automatically populate the input box, and the user can simply click
Update if they are already logged in.
I don't see this in the FAQ; maybe it should be put there.
