How to pass form variables to a framed page

I have a page with a small form. When the user submits the form it submits to another page with my clients header, graphics, and layout and a Frame containing a third party site. I'd like to pass the form variables on to the framed third party site so it will display its contents based on the form variables passed.

I can do this and it works if I just submit the form directly to the third pary site. However, without the third party site framed in one of my pages, it doesn't look like it is part of my site.

Can this be done? If so, could someone provide a simple example of how? Thanks so much!
 
I am unsure of what you want to do. You could use server side language to submit your data to the other site, read the request and then process it and just put the information on your site. However, that vastly exceeds the boundaries of this forum.
 
Thanks, I'm going to try this in another forum. Appreciate the response.
 
However, without the third party site framed in one of my pages, it doesn't look like it is part of my site.
That's because it isn't part of your site. It sounds like you are trying to steal the functionality of someone else's site and pass it off as your own.
This is usually illegal. If I'm missing the point here, please give us more information.

PushCode,

I think it could be done. As of now I can't reviel how ... like traingamer suggest -you have to make sure it's legal.

If not, I'd say that you've chosen a poor username :) LOL (sorry couldn't help it).

Let's see your code, man!
 
Haha dkdude, very funny.

It's legal. We're paying the damn 3rd party company $350/mo for their services...I assure you we have every right to frame their info.

I think I figured out how to do it, using a built in ColdFusion http tag.
