Post a form two different URLS

[Jason]

I have a sticky problem relating to my 'join' registration form inside our
authenticatin system...

We have just signed up for salesforce.com and I need to somehow integrate
the canned web-to-lead form from salesforce inside my login/registraiton
system without messing up the existing 'join' form.

My registration form is built on top of database while the salesform form is
statically generated form which is similiar but not exactly the same.

Is there way to either:

1. Post to two different urls at once for my main Join form.
2. Or, perhaps 'hide' the salesforce.com form and somehow populate the
values in the form and when the visitor clicks my Join form it also posts the
sf form?

Any help appreciated...it is messy!

Hello Jason,

A form can only be posted to one URL. So, your second thoughts maybe work:
we can create two frames in one page, one for your web application and
another for saleforce one; When the Submit button on your web page is
click, we can call some client script to fill saleforce's form and submit
it. I am not familiar with the saleforce's form so that I cannot tell
details on this, but you can refer to this article as a sample:

Hope this help,

I don't think so, in general.

Clientside script can onsubmit submit() the form
first to one this.action specified destination,
while the this.target is a [nondisplayed?] iframe,
then after changing this.action [and this.target?]
let the original html submit do it's work

Yep, you could use the ServerXMLHTTP object from your form to POST to
saleforce.com's form page.

Guys, I thanks for the posts. Do you agree that this may be the simplest
solution of all:

Yes, It is a simple solution. But it is only for submitting the form , we
may need to consider how to fill a form (UserName/Password) before submit
it. For example, add some scrpt code to fill the TextBox before
document.myform.submit();
