I have several html-based eBook applications that include links to my remote site.

When a customer decides to purchase an eBook, they are directed to a purchase page that is part of the eBook - it is an HTML based form located within the eBook itself that includes a link to the purchase page of the remote site.

To date, the only means of transferring information from the eBook page to the purchase page of the remote site is to have the customer manually enter all of the information from the eBook into the form from the remote site, wait for a response, and then type the response back into the eBook page.

To make this process invisible, I would like to pass variables from the form page of the eBook into the matching fields of a page on the remote site.

Once the processing is complete, I would like the remote server site to pass the necessary information back to the page of the eBook.

I know I can pass variables between pages when the pages are from the same domain. Is this possible, however, in the above scenario?

I'm familiar with creating and using ASP and JavaScript.

Thank you

Yes it's feasible, you can just post the values. There are no doamin restrictions, these only normally apply client to client, i.e. reading data from a page displaed in a frame from another page in the frameset from a different domain, not client to server

Thanks, Joe,
I'll do some trial runs and see how it all plays out. Thanks for the clarification. I had assumed that due to it's independance from the server, the page produced from the eBook would adopt the host computer as its "server." Needless to say, as I think it all through, this is not the case.

srinivas,
You would be better off asking this as a new question as it is may not be as related as it looks.
But in the mean time check out this link below, it provides the ASP and JavaScript solution to you problem.
