Hi,
I'm trying to use postwrap to modify a html block I created in PostNuke. The block is a html weather block that works fine and creates a nice looking weather block. Here is the code:


<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td align="center" width=120>
<a href="http://www.weather.com?par=internal&code=659931&site=logo& ;promo=english">
<img border=0 src="http://image.weather.com/pics/oap/slogo.gif"></a>
</td></tr><tr><td align="center" width=120>
<form method="post" action="http://www.weather.com/cgi-bin/uncgi/zip_city_search.cgi?par=intern al&code=659931&site=logo&promo=english">
<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td valign=center width=120 colspan=2>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, Chicago, Sans Serif" color="#004371" size="2">
Enter city or US Zip </font></td></tr><tr>
<td width="40" align="left" valign="bottom">
<input name="destination" type="text" size="8" value="">
</td><td width="20" align="left" valign="bottom">
<input type="image" src="http://image.weather.com/pics/button_go.gif" width="26" height="23" border="0" alt="go!" value="Go City"></td></tr>
</table></form>
</td></tr></table>


Just add the above code into a new Core/html block and your almost there.

My question is when I enter the ZIP and hit go, can I modify the above script with Postwrap to have the delivered content show up in the PostNuke main area/window?
Currently it leaves PN and goes to the weather.com page for the zip entered.
Thanks,
Keyser

I haven't tested but you can try this as your form action:

modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=http://www .weather.com/cgi-bin/uncgi/zip_city_search.cgi?par=intern al&code=659931&site=logo&promo=english

On a side note, I don't think you use a get request string in an action URL, especially a POST action. Try using just:

http://www.weather.com/cgi-bin/uncgi/zip_city_search.cgi

And add the vars as hidden in your form.

Shawn,
Much closer and thanks for the help! It postwraps into the main area/window now, but for some reason the ZIPCODE that is entered get's dropped/lost. You get a default weather.com page as if you just pasted:

http://www.weather.com/cgi-bin/uncgi/zip_city_search.cgi?pa r=intern%20al&code=659931&site=logo&promo=english

into your browser. Getting very close!
Thanks Again,
Keyser
