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>
