I have been tasked to examine an existing web site to see if it could be duplicated on another server (FQ!). The site has a 'contact us' form which should be a simple form-to-email script. Instead, here is the html I found:


<form method=post action="contact2.html">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="1">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="SendTo" VALUE="sales@woodsideplantation.com">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="ReturnTo" VALUE="http:\\www.woodsideplantation.com\ThankYou.html">


I couldn't find a file called contact2.html on the server and trying to access it directly just puts me back at the original form. Anyone know how this form could possibly be working?

No it can't possible "work", but easy enough: if you have tested it, and indeed it doesn't work, then yes, you can replicate that precisely on an FQ server. :)

Does the page go anywhere if you fill it all in? Or does it always just reshow itself. Has sales@woodsideplantation.com received anything you filled out?

I don't see how it's representing itself, except that it looks like an url re-write along the lines of what you can do via an .htaccess file.
