Hello,

I was pondering creating form filling software. As a sample I decided
to take a look at
the sign up page for hotmail (http://get.live.com/mail/overview then
Signup)
Probably not the best example as it looks quite complicated.
My main question is, when you have filled in the fields etc. and
click I Accept, where
is the form actually submitted?

I'm guessing it is submitted via javascript, either
https://signup.live.com/scripts/liveframework.js?nx=11.0.3828.0
or https://signup.live.com/scripts/omnitureH2.js?nx=11.0.3828.0 at the
bottom. Presumably the parameters collected in the fielda are
submitted somehow? I don't really understand how the field inputs are
passed as it doesn't seem particularly obvious. Also, I see no
reference to <web: ..> tags, are these ASP specific or some such?


Thanks,

Gordy.
