Hey,
I've got a site where people can look up id numbers for land parcels, and I'd like to be able to create a link that my users can click which will automatically send that id# to a form on a remote govt page (so they can look up more information associated with that id #).

The remote form looks like the following, and the data from my site coincides with what is expected by the "tmk" field:

<form method="post" action="SearchResults.asp" id=form1 name=form1 onsubmit="parent.MapFrame.showRetrieveData();">
<input type=hidden name=SearchType value="TMK">
Search By TMK
<INPUT type=text name=tmk size=8 maxlength=8>
<INPUT type=image border=0 src="../images/search.gif" name=SearchByTMK value="Search">
</form>

Any ideas?
 
If I got it right from what you wrote then:

Code:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.remotesite.com/SearchResults.asp">[/URL]

... where is the address af the remote site with the form handler.

Regards


Jakob
