HTML Form URL Encoded

Good afternoon,

I captured a packet in wire shark to capture showing passwords being sent in clear text so want to create an alert for 
this but having some issues.

In the packet it's got HTML Form URL encoded and then the various form fields which one of these is Form Item: 
"j_password"

My rule is:

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 80 (msg:""; flow:to_server; content:"POST"; http_method; 
content:"j|5f|password"; nocase; sid:1000000; rev:1;)

I am new to rule writing so sure that above probably isn't the best way to go about it but it's not triggering.

Any ideas?

Thanks
