Watching form submission content go to the server

Hi,

Is there any way to watch regular form submission leave the browser? I
have a complicated dynamic form to learn about and instead of sorting
through the code I would like to see what is actually being sent to the
server when I click submit: The header, url, method, body etc. Is there
a feature in a browser or some special software to do this (Mac OS X
prefered.) Firefox's Firebug has a nice extension that shows this
information but only for Ajax requests.

Thank you,
Peter

I often use ethereal for that kind of things.

This won't work with crypted connections (https). If you need it then
let me know, I have a solution.

hello I have a DB with many inter-related tables (MySQL) My main table called "content" has almost only foreign keys (integers) some have a 3 level relation (ex: content->city->region->country) I would like admins to be able to insert new records including all the "content" fields (in 1 page form) But how can I make an insert form that would display the related tables as list menus instead of a textfield with a number?

I am interested in hearing opinions on the semantic meaning of FORM (elements) in HTML. I have to start of apologising because this question arose in a context that is not applicable to the Internet. Specifically, marking up a document that will contain multiple related form controls (intended exclusively for client-side scripting) that would never be intended to be submitted. I realise that that concept is a non-starter in an Internet...

I was told in another newsgroup (about XML, I was wondering how to control user input) that most modern browsers empower the designer to cast the user created input to a particular character encoding.

Hi, I am creating a site where I need to refer to another external file (aspx). I create the form and works fine. But as soon as I try to submit the form automatically (with form.submit()) I get an error from the external site. I do not have the code of that site but suppose that my automatic submission does not pass all of the variables. This is how it looks in plain html: <form name="Login" method="post"

I'm using CDO to send mail to the site owner from ASP pages with forms. Recently one of my forms is occasionally sending email with what seems to be an insertion which is replacing the plain text part of the email with something else.

I have a form with 3 text fields (one of which is a zip code) and 5 combo boxes. The combo boxes are all set with the first value as 'selected' when the page is first displayed.

If the form fails validation - one of the text fields is empty, for example - I need to alert...

Hi I have an issue in some browsers when linking to style sheets or images in some browsers using a DOM script after I have submitted a form.
