AutoComplete a Form

[mthem2003]

Hello

I have a webpage where I would ask users to enter their first name and email and address and submit it to receive newsletter.
I have some banners on my site, and when they click on the banner I would like their first name and email and address to be auto filled in the advertiser website, instead of them entering it again.

I already have the advertiser OK to do this, but I don't know how to do it.

can someone point me to the write direction to what I need to do this?

much apprecaited thanks!

not possible. - That would pose a huge security risk.

You can however program a stand alone applications that auto fills everything with a single click.

If you have the advertiser's ok, that would mean they have some sort of API which allows you to prepopulate data, i.e. making it technically possible, right?

It IS absolutely possible if the advertiser offers such a solution, e.g. by reading out POST data on their page, maybe along with an encrypted ID that verifies the source (you). This is what I mean by API, and you will absolutely need that to make this possible.

It is a piece of cake with php & curl.
I use this way to let topica support auto-responder and confirm redirect.
