That's spot on. I have php grabbing data from my database and filling the form. Then JavaScript automatically submits the form. However once the form is submitted. Server A forwards the browser else where. So I have to type in my URL again. Is there some way I can more or less dump my database into theirs via the form. There are a #$%^ load of records.
