Make me wonder, if the HTML that you're talking about is some
combination of HTML and JavaScript that does form validation, can you
work around it using the Web Developer extension in Firefox?  That lets
you edit the HTML of the page being currently displayed in the browser.

I don't know if it will let you modify forms (well, it *will*, but I
don't know if it will let you transmit them that way).  I just use the
extension for testing changes I think that I would like to make to my
blog and other sites that I work on, both in HTML and CSS, and then
implement those changes when I am finished by working on the actual
code.  But it's a possibility.
