Okay so there is a site that has an Iframe with a contact form in it. I need to send an email with the data in it in PHP. I’m guessing that I use the target"\_parent" in the form tag, but I don’t seem to have access tot he variables in the Iframe so that I can display a confirmation message instead of the form.

I was thinking maybe the easiest route would be to make a flash contact form?

I figured it out. I have to put the get variables in the src of the the iframe tag as well. fixed the problem.
