Can i view results in a form on next page?

[F430]

Hi,

I know this sounds stupid, and when i find out the answer il kick my self.

I have a preview link which when clicked opens a page which i want to display the text in the two textboxes on the previous page.

I CANT USED A SUBMIT BUTTON as it is being used to add the entry.

Im having one of those developer blocks.

Thanks

You could use Javascript to open a new window to display the preview. When creating the URL for the popup window you can pass the values on the querystring then retrieve normally inside the window or you can use this.window.creator to reference the fields with the values you want on the parent window.

you can submit the parent form to the child (preview) as you would normally. Then on whatever event the user has to take from the child page is triggered resubmit the data to the collection.

If you don't want to format the preview in actually text boxes but something like a list in pure text, just use hidden fields in the child page to retain the values to pass back to either the parent or another processing page.

If you are returning to the parent page simply wrap the page in conditioning in your server script to check on which stage the user is. you can pass a counter (hidden field) around to check the process flow
