Sending a form to a second page, unchanged

Sounds like a job for Javascript

I have a selling page I'm testing. The user can click one of three choices for shipping costs using radio buttons.

Because I'm just putting my toe in the water with selling things on my site, I'm using PayPal. The form action is a link to PayPal's site. The inputs in the form are for product name, model number, cost, my company name, and shipping costs (from the radio buttons).

Google Analytics can't track a visitor to another site, unless the tracking code is installed on that site (which I can't do, of course).

So, I've been trying to figure out how to send the form from my selling page to a second page, and then have it redirect from there to the PayPal page. If I can track SellingPage2.html, then I can figure out how many people abandon the process when they hit PayPal's site.

If it weren't for the radio button options, I could easily use a response.redirect to SellingPage2.html.

Any suggestions as to how to send the form to a second page?

I'm not sure how to do what you want using just javascript, however, there is a nice thread in the php library that addresses the issue of sending information from a form to multiple locations. Take a peek :)
