Thanks Devin. I was meaning I wanted to do this in a Livecode app so sounds like there is hope. I will check out the links you sent.
Another complication is that the form includes a Captcha code so that will have to be supplied manually. Off topic, but am I the only one that finds the majority of these Captcha codes pretty much unreadable, especially on tablets/phones? I guess there are different types of code, I'm referring to the ones that are blurry photos of house numbers/street names.
