Tool to Trace an HTML Post Submission?

Is there a way (or tool) that helps seeing (or logging) exactly what is being sent in an HTML <FORM METHOD=POST> in response to clicking a <INPUT TYPE="submit"> button?

Yes you could use a variety of tools such as Firebug or Developer tools in Chrome\Safari, you can see what is being sent to the server the response headers and body. You would have to "preserver log upon navigation" in Chrome or "persist" in Firebug to see the response.

In chrome it's under the Network tab, in Firebug it's under Net. P.s there are other tools for different browsers, i just use these two the most.

http://www.wireshark.org/ Works well. It tracks all network traffic and can process most (all?) protocols. You should see this as an HTTP request.

The Google Chrome Web Tools will allow you to see what was sent in an HTTP request, the post vars, etc.

or if you are a Firefox kind or person:
