[SGVLUG] Polling Web Sites

[Robert Leyva]

That sounds like a design change or addition to a site.

Allow people to download a form, then just upload the completed form
securely.

Another process would then read in the form's data, and process. It would
either be 'realtime' at submission, or submissions could be aggregated,
then processed in batches.

That would be my humble opinions on it.

For you to work with a site that doesn't have such functionality, the best
alternative I can think of would be to keep a browser session with the
page open, fill it out at your leisure (leaving the PC on... hours, days,
weeks?), then do copy/paste to an active session when you are ready to
order.
