Ok, I've got a custom HTML page that has two forms on it. One form has a few fields - it mimics a message board's new topic form - most fields on it are hidden. The other form contains about 25 fields - it's an application form. The only submit button is for the new topic hybrid form. The idea is that someone fills out the application form, and when the submit button (for the new topic form) is clicked, some scripting is executed to concatenate the application fields all into the message field of the new topic form, thus generating a new topic containing the applicant's application form.

Works great... except only when I host my custom page on my local machine (i.e. where I test the application process). When I host the page on my ISP storage, the message board service is generating a "page not found" error back to me. Obviously, they are somehow catching the "source" of my custom page. How are they doing that, and how can I get around it? Any ideas?

If you can give me a sample working application and the non working one, I'll gladly help you. However, for the most part, if the script does do what you say, and "catch" the url, then there is no way around it. The only way for it to work would be to have to change the script to reflect the non-working page. Or, move the non-working page to the same server as the script.

The purpose behind most things like that is for your protection. The reason they do this is to make it so other people can't steal your bandwidth. If you can't even host the script yourself, then they do it to save their bandwidth. Confused yet?
