Embedding a form from an external domain to my site

cross domain question

[knockeddown]

Is it possible to have a form on your wordpress blog that takes the form data and sends it to another website for processing? For example, I would like people to be able to find IRS taxpayer assistant centers by typing in their zipcode and search radius on my site, then that data would be sent to the IRS website and the designated IRS page would pop up with the results. I know it’s easier to just do a link but I would like to offer the form on my site. I also want to attribute the data to IRS so I’d prefer if the results do come up in an IRS pop up window. Essentially, I’d just like to copy or embed their form on to my page. By the way, the IRS page I’d like to do this with is: [irs.gov...]

you can do. you can even just swipe the form's HTML directly from the page's source code and embed it in your site. all you've got to do is amend the URL that the form gets sent to (so it's an absolute url -- the one that the original form was on).

but it might not work. because any decent site will check that the data it receives has come from a proper source before they process it. so they might reject the stuff you send them.
