Some of my referrals don't remember my customer number and I want my site to be able to link and then prefill the other site's customer number for them. I do not have access to any information on the other site with regards to coding.
Here are the steps...
1. Customer A goes to web site "www.test.com".
2. Customer A clicks on link in this web site to go to site "www.test2.com".
3. Customer A is now on "www.test2.com" and the customer number field (mine) has been prefilled via a script from "www.test.com".
I am not familiar with these types of scripts so a detailed answer would be most helpful.
Thanks,
George
Usually those kind of script requires you to be able to modify the other end of the link (test2.htm) with some server side scripts (asp, php). When clicked your link send some info that is requested by the other page to fill the form.
on site1.htm the link reads <a href="http://www.site2.htm?customerNumber=123456>link</a>
on site2.htm something like cN = request.customerNumber
Anybody to correct me if I'm wrong.
Hope this help

This is something that you would need to discuss with the owners of test2. You need to somehow submit (perhaps, via a form) your number to the form page on test2 which would then prefill the appropriate field. There is no way of doing this independently of test2.
This is something that would need to be implemented from test2's end, by taking the information (your number) from a form or a URL encoding and populate the auto-form.
If I understand correctly I would require access to the server on site "B" (i.e., the one I am linked to).
Best Regards,
