Passing values between form pages

[Guest_imported]

I'm trying to get a form working over multiple pages but I'm having some trouble and was wondering if someone here could help.

I found this piece of Javascript:

http://javascript.internet.com/forms/passing-values-source.html

at

http://javascript.internet.com/

which has certainly helped.

The form that I'm creating can be viewed here:

http://server5.hypermart.net/philipclark/1.html

. As you can see when you hit submit on the first page the values are passed perfectly through to the next page but then you need to enter in your Street, City and Country. Once you have entered in your Street, City and Country and hit the submit button on the second page it forgets what the values of firstname, lastname, and age are from the first page. What can I do so it remembers the values of firstname, lastname, and age from the first page.

I hope I've explained this alright. If not please let me know.

hi philip,
as u know, all html pages are served on the web using HTTP protocol...The problem with HTTP protocol is it is a stateless protocol..i.e it does not maintain the state between an user request... so in order to make ur server remember the user information, what u have to do is setting cookies in the user's system and retrieve it when and where u need it.

Hi Philip,

If I am not wrong, what you did was you printed out the value of firstname, lastname and age using Javascript right? What you can do is to print out hidden values as well. So what you can do is to have the <form> tag before your javascript and print out the hidden values using your javascript function as well:-

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;firstname&quot; value=firstname>

This way, you will be able to pass in the 3 values into the following form.

yeah, hidden forms or location.search or frameset &quot;100%,*&quot; (the second frame - for variables) & so on - old question - use search in this forum with keywords u want 2 now about (pass parametres or smth) - it helps...
