Hi everyone,
I am trying to post some data to a form using the XMLHTTP object, and have run into a problem trying to find the proper
location of the receiving page.
The form points to a directory, like so:
<form action="/servlet/Login" target="_top" method="POST" enctype="x-www-form-encoded" onSubmit='return goodform()'>
but the XMLHTTP object requires a specific file reference.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to find the specific file that receives the form submission?
Btw, the site is http://www.imrmls.com
Thanks in advance for any help or information you can provide.
Sincerely,
Shannon 7 6197

Shouldn't that be "/servlet/Login.asp" ? This string should not work unless
you have a default asp page in a folder called "Login", and even then, I'm
not sure it would work ...
enctype="x-www-form-encoded" onSubmit='return goodform()'>
but the XMLHTTP object requires a specific file reference.

Do you mean the file-based path to the receiving page? I've never had to
supply that in my xmlhttprequest calls. A file does have to be specified.
But a relative url can be used. You can download my dynamic listbox demo
available at http://www.thrasherwebdesign.com/ind...asp&c=&a=clear
to see an example.
Or do you mean that you don't know the name of the file you are calling? To
which I can only reply: why not? You wrote it didn't you? :-)
HTH,
Bob Barrows
Maybe this?? Assuming "Login" is an ASP file. You didn't give it an
extension in the code.
<form action="http://www.imrmls.com/servlet/Login.asp">

Thanks, Bob
No -- sorry. My post was written bleary-eyed and frustrated. I am trying to utilize the call from my server to
automate information retrieval off-server (from an information source that we subscribe to). Thus, I do not have access
to the file names or structures on the server I am calling, and must rely on inspection of the HTML source code
displayed on the actual form to derive both the form element names and the submission handler.
I have never seen a submission handler referenced by a relative folder path only (with no file name), and don't have any
idea where to send the POST data.
the form can be seen at http://www.imrmls.com
-- it's the login screen form that comes up as the default page.
Thanks for your help and info -- will check out the link you provided.

I know -- confusing. I didn't specify clearly enough that I did not write the form code. I am trying to POST data to
it to automate information retrieval from a site to which I subscribe. The Form's Action propeorty is definately set to
a relative folder reference -- something I have not seen in a form.
FYI -- the form can be viewed at www.imrmls.com -- it's the login form that appears as a default.
Odd, indeed. Thank you for your time and information,
Shannon

You would have to post to http://www.imrmls.com/servlet/Login

Neither have I.

Can you ask someone at the site? Thanks for your help and info -- will check out the link you provided.
It probably won't help in this situation.
