How would I go about finding the name of that city/state/zip text input field?

I need to allow a user to enter the city, state or zip into my own text field and then submit that to the above website's form but I don't know how to specify that specific field.

Answer 1

I recommend you download firebug for firefox - it makes analyzing web pages vastly easier. Until then, you'll just have to look through the page source by hand.

But yes, the name of the field is 'inputstring'
