quick question.
is a legacy website (which is not in my control and can not be modified), which gives users a form to fill data and then 'presents' the form for user processing. Virtually there is no error checking on this form, and very little help for the user (i.e. it was designed very poorly about 12 years ago and has not been updated from now).
None, back-end important functions of this application.
My question is, is it possible (there is no qualification to modify the legacy website), write your new front-end in ASP.NET (with proper pre-validation validation) Staying on server & amp; Domains, and then simulate 'submit' to another webserver, until I reproduce the form / data being sent?
Here is a major question that I think, is it possible to deposit a form on one website, another, and whether it can be done with any change at the heritage site?
Comments appreciated.
The short answer is "yes", long answer "it depends" the basics of HTML and HTTP It allows for this, but without knowing a bit more about the implementation of the heritage site, you do not know for sure that it will work.
In theory, you need to make sure that the field has the same name and sets the page URL of the heritage site to the goal of the form.
In practice, the heritage site is doing a lot of things that makes it difficult or impossible to achieve (this can require cookies to be set correctly or for example, can hold internal status ).
The best thing to do is to try it, it should not take long to copy the basic areas and see the form that it works or not. Once you know that it works, you can worry about adding your additional validation etc.
