Broken: Insurancehotline.com form
In the fine tradition of the "Do not read this sign," I bring you this website submission form:
http://www.insurancehotline.com/scripts/insquote.pl?instype=rosalind_sto
Yes, a completely empty form.
The piece du resistance: you can successfully submit this form!
Somehwere out there a database is bursting with nulls.
You are trying to jump into the middle of the processing. Start at the first page of get a quote and it works fine.
this is the perfect form- I hate forms that require you to dredge up your entire life; dates, names, addresses- this nothing- loving it!
(Alas, TIB's comment form is much more intelligent and won't allow me to submit a blank form, as planned)
There are forms present, but they are hidden from view. I used the webdeveloper toolbar's form information tool (FireFox, of course), which displays information about the forms on the page next to them. The became visible and therefore exist.
It kinda' makes you wonder, though. WTF are they smoking?!
