Add a string to a form field onsubmit

[gringorick]

Hi all, what is the simplest way to add a string of text onto the beginning of a submitted form value when it is submitted?

For example if the text input name="text1" and a user entered "hello world" into the text box, I would like the value changed to "Text #1 = hello world" onsubmit, and so on for text2, text3, etc.

Thanks for any help,
Rick

It'd be easier to do that on the page that processes the form values. All the form element names are in the Request.Form array and you could use a loop to get the name and prepend the value with that.

Thanks trollacious,

I'm not familiar with working with the Request.Form array, can you give me a quick example of how this would be done to get me started?

Thanks again,
Rick

How do you process the form data on the page that it's submitted to? The Request.Form I referred to is from ASP, but would be different if you use PHP, ColdFusion, or some other scripting language. Without knowing what server-side scripting language you're using, I can't answer your question.

Just out of curiosity, is this a homework assignment? Your questions are SO basic about forms that you could easily find the answers in a search on Google, faster than posting your questions here.
