The best bet would be to have a central database which all the sites 
connect to. For example, if one site is on, say, aamcf.co.uk, make the 
action of the form something like 
http://www.example.com/aamcf.co.uk/formscript (replacing example.com with 
your own domain)

formscript could do all the necessary database connection and then redirect 
the browser back to aamcf.co.uk

There may be some security issues, but I don't think there would be 
anything insurmountable.

JavaScript would be very insecure.
