I am trying to build a webform that will copy all of the form fields to another, external website. I am making a separate sign up form for USA Judo (https://webpoint.usjudo.org/wp/Memberships/Join.wp) but I need to send the formfield data from my version of the form to the original website. I do not have control over the original website.
Any ideas? I'm completely lost here.
Thanks.

The long and short answer is, unfortunately you can't.
Without having control over the original website, there is no way to pre-populate forms remotely.
The website you have stated also has a multi step signup form, which would make automatically filling it in not straight forward.
Cross Site Request Forgery is adopted in most modern browsers to stop sending forms to remote websites unless setup specifically todo so.

I have a very simple issue and I'm looking for a simple way to do that.
In fact, I'm searching to auto-fill a Web-Form from an official webPage of an institution and I would like to do it in Javascript into a webpage which will do it automatically on client-side.
I tried CasperJS/PhantomJS which is very useful to do that but they have to be run by command line and not by a js script.
This webForm is very simple.It has several dropdownList, checkboxes and text input with a simple submit button.
I don't need some detailed code but just the way/tools to achieve that. I'm on it since 2 weeks without any good results.
Ideally, this should be done server to server. What you want is a web service. This way you don't have to have a client machine with a browser sitting open to handle this.
A quicker and dirtier method would be to submit the form data directly to the 3rd party web server via cURL:

The best way to do that is using Selenium. Use Selenium and you can easily fill out forms of third party.
We have a webshop and using the shop's API we're able to fetch orders. On the other hand we have our wholesaler but they don't have an API, so we can't post orders to their system. They do have an online ordering form. Is there any way to auto fill this form from our script on our server to their script on their server?
I was googling the topic but I came across scripts that fill forms from the same page, not a different page on a different server.
p.s. this question is not intended to create spamming bots ;)
if i really understand that what u asked i think u must should use Selenium Web Driver that u can get information from a link and use them to auto fill the desired form , Selenium available on Java, Python , Ruby and ...
A site I am working on requires user information to be collected from a form when the user presses the submit button. The site will then take the information and plug it into a more robust form on a different page, so the user does not have to retype the information twice.
Is this possible using javascript?
Any help appreciated.
Once the user leaves the current page, the JavaScript on the original page is no longer running, They will load up the other page and run that page's JavaScript.
Do you have ownership of both pages?
If so, then you can leverage the form GET to pass information across pages, so the next page will have a Query string, and JavaScript can parse that.
Another way to move data from one page to another is to use Cookies. So it really depends on how much data you want to move around.
But I highly recommend that you leverage the server-side technology to handle the form GET or POST and carry information across pages.
This completely depends on the OTHER site. You can have a form with the same field names and post it to the same URL the other site's form uses.
BUT - if that site checks to see where the original post came from, it may block you out.
I have been thinking for a while. And i have an idea i would like to have a sanity check on. The idea is this. I have a website www.mysite.com and you have a website www.yoursite.com I have a service on my site where you can "buy" a contact form (name, mail description) to your site. The trick is that it is still hosted on my page and i have the database the maintenance etc. but you have the functionality of a contact form on your page. Is this possible? How about an iFrame? Javascript? X-domain rules etc.
Will it work?
Yes, it's possible. There is no limit to where a form can point.
The only thing to be careful with is switching protocols.
When you submit from a HTTPS form to a HTTP target, you will get a warning in some browsers.
When it's the other way round, the HTTP_REFERER will not be set, so you can't use that to determine the incoming page. (But you will want to use a form variable for that anyway.)
Other information that might be helpful from a nearly identical question posted today.
Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I've spent several hours on this without success. I've got a PHP script that generates some text I want to submit to an external Web site's form. Is it possible to use JavaScript code on one page to open a page on another server and then add text to that second page's html form from the code on the first page?
No. Check out this wikipedia article about same origin policy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy
EDIT: One thing you can do is submit form data from one site to another. So for example if there is a sign in form on a page. You can't use javascript to populate that form but you could use your page to do a form post from your site to the action of the form on their site. Just make sure that the method(get,post) is the same and the field names are the same. Though keep in mind that a lot of sites do check to make sure that forms are submitted from their own sites but it is possible to try something like this.
