OT: Need some I.T. help regarding Forms.

[Joske]

Im looking after a friends website which is solely based on templates, i have no root access and can't make big alterations to the layout of the site. Basically its a bag of **** but what they want is a nice form, but the problem is the people who are hosting offer no script support in perl, php etc. This is starting to get very annoying.

Back to the original question, what i want to do is create a form with what they want and not the templates the site offers us, but the problem im having is trying to send the information to them from the form without a script. Is there any work arounds for this, i.e. are there any online places that allow you to use there scripts and change them for your needs.

I know the best thing would be to change the host but its all paid for now and its not ideal to do just yet.

I really could do with a solution for this. It doesn't need to be secure just enough so it works.

In short, I don't know as I'm a Network/Server engineer, although I have a friend who would probably be able to answer your question in a click of his fingers -

As soon as he's online I'll forward this thread.

He says, you can't do what you want without server-side scripting, quite simply...

 

[Joske]

I see, thought so. But thought a guru might know a work around. I.e put a script on a server with scripting available. Maybe run my own apache web server.

He said:

but then its easier just to make all of it on another server.

and then just show that in a frame on the other server..

 

[Joske]

Cheers Ian i may just have to do something like that.

I know it's all paid up and that, but it'd be much easier to change the hosting.. I know you'd love a workaround, and there usually is with computers...always... but I'd cut your losses mate

Heh.

do it with java script and store the info in a cookie

 

[Joske]

Thats not possible, like i said Ash im extremely limited with what i can do.

simple fix then. get a new host on any address and put a redirect on the current address
