I would like to use a link that takes the user to an external site and automatically hits the "submit" button on a form. Is this possible with HTML?

I have a form in which the attribute action is set to go to a page but whenever i press the submit button its taking the data to another page.
while writing your form use post method if you are using get method or use get if using post. one of them uses to carry data while navigating to target.. so just change your form method..
Assume that you want to display two separate forms on one page, but only one at a time.
One form acts as a gate for the other form, and would disappear upon submission, being replaced by the second form.
Is it possible to display a second form on POST on the same page without having to reload the page?
Not without using Javascript in some method or other. Best bet would be to post the first form via AJAX and in the response delivery the second form.
currently I had written a html page for a form submission. How do I go about bring all the inputs the user written on my submit button to another html page that display all the input.
I have two forms, a login form and a register form on the same page and each has its own submit button. If I fill in bad data and click on submit button on register form, I get the form back with errors ( expected). If I now enter sign in details on signin form and click on signin form's submit button, the register form gets submitted.
This is strange behaviour. I am not sure where to start search for this. I am using firefox to test this.
Thanks
Well, you will need to debug it step by step.
Check your form nesting and follow good structure, make sure both form are not overlapping with each other or not being closed properly.
Give you form a proper ID and NAME. Be careful when two forms have the same name From Name Attr.
Based on your structure and your question, make sure you have a different submit buttons for each form and that button is placed within the form nesting.
Same as for the forms, give your submit button a proper unique ID and NAME .
Choose whether you want to submit by your using submit in html, or having JS to submit the form for you JS submit form.
If you are using HTML5, you can separate the button from the FORM. They can run separately. Means dynamic association between the form and it's submit button by having submit button placed anywhere and can submit a form located in different place. Check Association of Controls and Forms & HTML5′s New “form” Attribute.
Please post some code in order for us to have a better understanding of your issue.
Good luck.
I have an application where in a signed in user searches a database and is displayed a table of results. These results are basically listings of events. I give the user then, the privilege to "keep" or "discard" any event (using radio buttons beside each event).
Now however, I wish to implement a functionality whereby, the user at the end can click just one "update" button and all changes are affected (since keeping one button for each record will be very user unfriendly). That is, I am looking equivalently to submit multiple forms with just one submit/update button.
Is this possible ?
You need to use javascript, I suggest you using JQuery. Using AJAX you need to submit each form - this way page will not be redirected once you submit a form!
Then, within each forms assign individual IDs for each form. Then, assign your submit button an id for example mySubmit. Up next, add following code:
$('#mySubmit').click(function(){
// submit form1 by ajax...
// submit form2 by ajax...
});
You may see jQuery's http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/ for further information on how to submit a form using ajax.
As long as all of the radio buttons and submit button are part of the same form, you don't need to worry about submitting multiple forms because there won't be any. You can have multiple submit buttons in a single form, you can give them different values to know which button was clicked.
If you don't want to use jQuery then use javascript to form a list of data separated by say ~ character and set this string to some hidden field and submit using document.formx.submit()
You will need to parse the string on server side to get the data in correct format.
