Does anyone know if I can create an HTML Form to search the DHL tracking website?
I have tried using the following but get the error 'down for maintenance':
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if IE]>
<![endif]-->
<html><head><meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="go" />
</form>
</body>
</html>Will I have to use the API?

The following HTML tracking sample enables you to insert a single waybill number into a tracking field and submit the request via your existing web page. This link takes you to the DHL tracking screen, automatically populating the shipment information.
<html>
<head>
<title>DHL - Track By Tracking Number</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="get" action="">
< input type=hidden name=brand VALUE="DHL">
<input type="text" name="AWB" size="10"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"><br>
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</body>
</html>Big shout out to @WeezHard for dropping that form. I figured his solution is directed at DHL USA, so if you want a global DHL tracking form you can use the follow code.
<form name="form1" method="get" action="" target="_blank">
<input type=hidden name=submit VALUE="1">
<input type="text" name="tracking-id" size="10" placeholder="Enter your DHL waybill number here..."><br>
<input type="submit" value="Track">
</form>
