Using HTML in BCB

[cyprus106]

I need to gather information from a .HTML file and send it to BCB. There are several fields in the .HTML (a signup sheet for a newsletter) The .HTML is an offline document. I would like my program to be able to catch the information passed in to the HTML and use it in my Application. Are there functions to do this? is there code? I've never really tried it, or thought about it before. I don't exactly have any idea of where to start.
Help would be much appreciated. Cyprus

Do you need the ISAPI app, which placed on server-side and respond on requests of user browser?!

Happy programming!))

I was wrong, The HTML page is actually an installer, as opposed to the generic installers, because it is supposed to make the installation process run faster. At the beginning, the user is asked to input a name, activation key and an address. What I need to do is take the information from what the user inputted into the HTML file, and send it off to my C++ program, where it will be used in splash screens and licensing to the user. Neither the page nor the program will need to do any sort of connecting to any server or any other machines. as I said before, the HTML page is offline.
Would I be mistaken in thinking that the HTML file, after it recieves the data from the input fields, appends it to the end of the HTML url?
If so, would I be able to grasp that information from my C++ program?

The HTML file will never be online, so it needs no ISAPI application, but thanks anyways. Would anyone know of a way to grasp that URL while in my program, (as long as the HTML file is running, of course) Cyprus

So, user fill the form in html file after what he send data (in offline) to your program placed on the same computer?

alright, he fills out the form and then (just for the record) he, for instance, presses the 'OK' on the HTML form and the data is sent (offline) to the C++ project placed on the same computer. You've got the right idea Cyprus
