Hi,

I am working on an application where we submit details to an external web page that we have no access to make any changes to. The external page is a .htm page. We want to be able to pre-populate the .htm page with the details from our WCF service and proceed to the next stage without user intervention.

The problem is that there is a dropdown that is only populated when another field on the form is populated first. So, for example when an Country field is selected, only then is the State dropdown populated (based on the Country selected). So, when we first hit the page with the details from or service and try to pass in the ‘State’ it fails because on first load of the page there are not details in the ‘State’ dropdown.

Has anyone got any idea how we could overcome this problem. We need some way of maybe populating the ‘Country’ details first to populate the ‘State’ dropdown and then submit the rest of the details for validating and processing without any user intervention.

As always, thanks for your help.
