adding an input section

[contact]

sort of like a guestbook but not quite. i need something that will allow user to fill out boxes and submit answers, and when they hit "submit" or something, the info will be put onto another site that i have. i know it sounds complicated and it is alot like a guestbook, but i need this asap

You will need a Server Side Language.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...
Enter info, hit submit, and have it display on another website?! I'm not sure this is possible...

i know its possible my guestbook does the same thing i just cant figure out how it does it. its not like a whole nother page, it'ld be like www.XXXXX.com/index/guest, and i want it to be on www.XXXXX.com/index/guesthome

First of all, those links dont work, and "i know it sounds complicated", well, it probably is, u will need to use php or .asp or maybe a cgi script. thats my guess. unless you need it put on your site right away, u could just have a form that emails it to you and then you can put it on the site.

I didn't quite understand.

Having a user input information, and then having it displayed on another website is, as far as I know, impossible.

But it is not impossible to have it displayed on a different page of the same website -- which is what you want.

Forms can certainly submit to different domains, so if you throw a PHP (or other server-side language) script up there, it will have no problems parsing it. :confused:

Can you post the script to have the information emailed to you? That would be useful for me....

Ooo, my bad :o. I just thought you couldn't for like... security reasons.

Perhaps you were thinking about JavaScript. There are definitly security issues with that the second you try to do anything cross domain. And, don't get me wrong, there are certainly things (lots of them) that you can not do cross domain with PHP.
