Am working on a widget for built in whois lookup on our site.

So far I have this code


Text Box:
<form class="sales-funnel-search" data-drupal-selector="sales-funnel-search" action="/ca-domains/whois" method="post" id="sales-funnel-search" accept-charset="UTF-8">
    <div class="form-item form-item--textfield form-item--domain js-form-item js-form-type-textfield js-form-item-domain">
     



       
           
  <label
     for="domain-name" class="form-item__label form-item__label--textfield"
   
    >
    <span  class="form-item__label-text form-item__label-text--textfield" >
      Domain name
    </span>
  </label>

       
<input spellcheck="false" data-domain-input="" data-drupal-selector="domain-name" aria-describedby="domain-name--description" type="text" id="domain-name" name="domain" value="" size="60" maxlength="128" placeholder="Find a .CA domain" class="form-item__input form-item__input--textfield form-text"/>
            <div id="domain-name--description" class="form-item__description">
      example: cira or cira.ca
    </div>
  </div>

<input data-drupal-selector="form-jzvascad4vzylab4w0siohidy5z1kakhntgjbjwvnzy" type="hidden" name="form_build_id" value="form-JzVAsCaD4vzylaB4w0sIOhiDY5z1kAkhNTgjBjWvnzY" class="form-item__input form-item__input--hidden"/>
<input data-drupal-selector="edit-sales-funnel-search" type="hidden" name="form_id" value="sales_funnel_search" class="form-item__input form-item__input--hidden"/>

  <div data-drupal-selector="edit-actions" class="form-actions js-form-wrapper form-wrapper" id="edit-actions">
   
<input name="domain_search" data-domain-submit="" data-drupal-selector="domain-submit" type="submit" id="domain-submit" value="Search" class="form-item__input form-item__input--submit button js-form-submit form-submit"/>
  </div>

  </form>


The problem is instead of submitting and displaying the results at CIRA it just goes to the cira form and you have to enter the domain name again.


Am trying to figure out how to do it working with the existing CIRA code


Maybe @rlm (or someone else) can give me a hand with this one

The problem is you’re trying to use CIRA’s interface… you need to query the whois server directly.
 
The main reason I was doing that was to assure the public went to the official CIRA website.

I just wanted to facilitate the search but have the results actually displayed at CIRA
 
ah yes, if that’s the goal, then you’ve gotta deal with cira.
 
Been fooling around with the code a bit and I got it working.

If I stare at the code long enough I always figure it out.

Now to fine tune it and it's ready to go
 
I f anyone wants to use it, here is my final code modification


Text Box:
<form class="sales-funnel-search" data-drupal-selector="sales-funnel-search" action="https://www.cira.ca/ca-domains/whois" target="blank" method="https://www.cira.ca/ca-domains/whois/post" id="sales-funnel-search" accept-charset="UTF-8">
    <div class="form-item form-item--textfield form-item--domain js-form-item js-form-type-textfield js-form-item-domain">
     

       
<input spellcheck="false" data-domain-input="" data-drupal-selector="domain-name" aria-describedby="domain-name--description" type="text" id="domain-name" name="domain" value="" size="20" maxlength="128" placeholder="dn or dn.ca" class="form-item__input form-item__input--textfield form-text"/>
            <div id="domain-name--description" class="form-item__description">
      <span style="color:#999999;"><span style="font-size:12px;">&nbsp;Enter Domain Name</span></span><br />
    </div>
  </div>


   
<input name="" data-domain-submit="" data-drupal-selector="domain-submit" type="submit" id="domain-submit" value="Search" class="form-item__input form-item__input--submit button js-form-submit form-submit"/>
  </div>

  </form>
 
sorry i wasn’t any help, im literally sitting in a circus with the grandkid waiting for it to start…
 
No, that's just in the post, I corrected it in the actual code already because it was causing an issue on mobile.

I should have edited the post but forgot to do that.

Thanks for including us! We developed our appraisal tool using our founders' personal brokerage knowledge combined with interactive keyword competitiveness data (that no other appraisal tool seemed to be using). The result is what we think to be the most accurate domain appraisal tool on the market. Appreciate any/all support from you guys and welcome any feedback 🙏🤘

I am working on the 3 side by side appraisal widget

I have to decide which services to use...


There are a number of appraisal services out there:

1.
Saw - Appraisals - Saw

2. Estibot - Estibot

3. Godaddy: https://ca.godaddy.com/domain-value-appraisal

4. Graen - https://graen.com/free-domain-valuation




I am leaning to...

GoDaddy - Estibot - Graen

So anyone wanting to appraise a domain can do so right from our homepage using 3 services


Feedback please


5. NameWorth - Advanced Domain Appraisals - Name Worth | Free Valuations
