Hi,

I always thought that one could not submit form data from say domainwhatever1.com to domainwhatever2.com... unless you use some sort of special communication interface. I'm not sure how it would work.

Recently I worked on a few things (includign e-commerce functionality) where I would post form data to a payment processor. I would use the POST method and submit to some sort of .DLL file on another website. Then they would respond (return the results of the transaction) to one of my ASP pages.

How exactly does it work?

What I need to do is create a HTML email and send it out. The email would contain an embedded survey (HTML form) that would need to send the results to one of my dynamic pages (asp). In other words, people would complete the form inside of their email client without ever leaving their email client.

I would appreciate if somebody could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

I've never done it from an email, but I'd think you could just set up your email with the form's action being something like
action="http://www.yourSite.com/processYourSurvey.asp"
. Then set up that page on your site to handle the input from the form. Am I missing anything?
