Hi,

I'm a web designer most of the time I have created forms with frontpage. Now a friend of mine needs help with his site.

His site is old and has a few forms. We want to figure out how where the data is going to. The programmer that built this forms is not around and the submitted data is not going to an email address is going some where else.

Help!! how can I figure out where this data is going to?
on AIM I'm conniepozo
or email me

Look at the html form tag. If its for a perl program then it should say something like:
<form method="post" action="cgi-bin/somescript.cgi">
Then look in the cgi-bin for a "somescript.cgi"
The script could also be named with a .pl extension.
If this is the case then the script is receiving your data.
Hope I understood your question right.

This is what I found. So I'm little confuse now it says is going to the merchant gateway secure server.. but how in the hell we get the info from them. I called them and they say they just getting the credit card info.

THIS IS WHAT I FOUND IN THE CODE of the form:

<form method="POST" action="https://www.authorize.net/scripts/authnet25/WebLink.asp" onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)" name="FrontPage_Form1" language="JavaScript">
<input type="hidden" name="LOGIN" value="iif"><input type="hidden" name="AMOUNT" value="100.00"><input type="hidden" name="CUSTID" value="Internet Customer"><input type="hidden" name="DESCRIPTION" value="IIF Membership"><table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>

PS. I'm attaching the actual form to this message.
