Form actions -
It is possible to call a forms action method from anyother means than a submit button.
I currently post to a few message boards and use local prefilled copies of the forms. As the actual fields etc on these forms is usually the same I was wondering if it would be possible to post to more than one board, by calling the cgi script on the forms action, from a single form.
Many thanks,
Terry.

Terraplane, that is a very interesting question, one that I may want to hang around for to find out the answer. You could perhaps try something along the lines of:
<.form action="http://yoursite1.com, http://yoursite2.com">
Or perhaps you could create a javascript or CGI to parse the data and send to all locations.

John,
Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do. Without spamming, of course.
I've tried comma and semi-colon seperating a list as per Gil's suggestion. I've even tried multiple ACTION's Visual page just removed the surplus ones - I thought I might try the same in DreamWeaver but I'm not very optimistic.
Also thanks for the cgi-resources URL - I'm off there now.

Sure thing.
I hope they have a script you can use there.

It sounds like that would require a CGI script of some sort. I'm not completely clear on what you are asking though- are you saying you want to be able to submit your form once and have it post your message to multiple message boards?
If I got you wrong, please explain in more detail and I'll try to be more helpful.
