I need a nudge as to the best way to do something - I think I need to be
able to do call two scripts from a submit button.
I resell access to a script I maintain on my server. A customer wants to
call this script from multiple pages on their site - say
'promo A' and 'promo B'. The problem is that they want to be able to track
which page is calling the script. I don't have access to modifying the
script.
The solution would seem to be to use my server logs - but I have other
companies calling this script as well. It seems like a big deal to set
something up to cut out just this customer's domain from the logs and send
them this daily. I also think I'd like to offload this function on them if
possible.
a) I think Javascript may be able to handle this. From the form input page,
can I call a 'counting' script from their server, then submit the form data
normally all from one click of a submit button using Javascript onSubmit()?
I'm happy dust off the books if this is a potential solution.
b) If so, are there any real problems with using a Javascript solution such
as this. e.g. customers don't have javascript turned on.
c) Any thoughts on other ways to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Glenn
