I'm sure this is an easy one for you old pros?
I am using filemaker to browse some records, and I have created a button in my filemaker layout that launches a web browser with a certain url. Right know, I have to manually enter 3 numbers into 3 fields of a form on that webpage. Is there a way I could pass the info in the url so that when the page loads it will have the form already filled in with my data? I have figured out how to do this with some other websites that pass the information in the url (so I just end up at the page that I want, as though I pressed the submit button), but can not figure out how to do it when a webpage doesn't pass that data in the url. How can I skip this page and just get to the destination with my data sent along in the form's 'post' method?
I'm sure I sound like a retard, but I am just a hack looking for a shortcut.
1k thanks!
The url that I need help with is here: https://ttax.co.la.ca.us/secured_asp..._new/index.php
and i think this is the html that I can't seem to figure out: - <form method='post' name='pageform' action='https://ttax.co.la.ca.us/secured_asp/vcheck_new/index.php?page=main&SSID=r636gmbit671k3d4ji98lce363'>
-
Enter <a href='http://ttax.co.la.ca.us/Proptax/Ttc/ttc/TTCAIDNum.html'>ASSESSOR'S IDENTIFICATION NO. (AIN)</a>
-
<br />
-
which consists of: Map Book, Page and Parcel.
-
<br />
-
-
<table class='aintable'>
-
-
<tr>
-
<td><input type='text' name='mapbook' size='6' maxlength='4' value='' /></td>
-
<td><input type='text' name='page' size='5' maxlength='3' value='' /></td>
-
<td><input type='text' name='parcel' size='5' maxlength='3' value='' /></td>
-
</tr>
-
<tr>
-
<th>Map Book</th>
-
-
<th>Page</th>
-
-
<th>Parcel</th>
-
</tr>
-
</table>
-
<input type='image' src='images/Search.gif' alt='Click Here To Search For Payment Status' />
-
</form>

I think if you add value="MyValue" to the input tags you will achieve your effect.

Sorry just noticed are you doing all of this work on the server side? What are you doing with this line: -
<form method='post' name='pageform' action='https://ttax.co.la.ca.us/secured_asp/vcheck_new/index.php?page=main&SSID=r636gmbit671k3d4ji98lce36 3'>
Are you sure you want to send everyone to the same page?
This is for personal use really. This page gives me property tax status for the entered parcel of land. Right now I have to manually enter the 3 fields and hit the submit button to get to the destination page. If I could avoid the manual entry, I could retrieve the information 10X faster (and then work on finding a way to automate the retrieval). I am thinking there is a way to modify the code and run the page locally so that I can pass the data via the url (of the local page). Does that make any sense?
Thanks for thinking about this!

You can't do it the way you want to because it it's a post request.
What you could do is an http request using a server side language, e.g., ASP, JSP, PHP, Coldfusion. In Coldfusion, you can use the cfhttp tag, not sure about the other languages. Then you could have a local page which has the variables in the URL and passes these as a post request. Then just display the result.
