[thelist] iframe

Ok here is what I need to do.  If someone can tell me a good way of
doing this it would be helpful.

We have an email vendor when a customer wants to be added to the email
list they fill in their email address and submit, currently the email
vendor redirects them back to the page.  I now have the email subscribe
on two separate pages and the redirect back from the email vendor is
very very static, one URL, so I need some way to not let the clients
browser to redirect with the form.

When I asked this question elsewhere everyone was iframe this and iframe
that.

Why not just process the form on the site now with no iFrame, and send a
copy of the data to the vendor with an email?

I need to keep the customer on the page that they submit from and send
the information that they submitted to our vendors site.

Why do you have to use an iFrame?

I have never used an iframe, but I seem to have to on this one project.

I need to take two fields pass them to and iframe page and then have
that submit to another site.  So this is the example that I found.

<html>
<body>
<form name="pForm">
<input type="text" name="Input">
<input type="text" name="Input2">
<iframe name="myFrame" src="mypage.htm" height="1" width="1">
</iframe>
<input type=button value="SubmitIframeForm"
onClick="window.frames.myFrame.document.iForm.submit();">
</form>
</body>
</html>

<html>
<body onUnload="parent.document.pForm.submit();">
<form name="iForm">
<input type="text" name="Export">
<input type="text" name="Export2">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Where I get lost/confused is I need to send the infromation to a URL
that is not mine, I need to make sure the page refreshes/validates and
then submits behind the scenes.

Does that look right, will those two Inputs get to the other website?
