Passing values from one form to another form

[Ciarrai]

I'm getting errors passing values from one form to another. I'd be glad if anybody could point out what I'm doing wrong..
I'm passing 'headline' to the second form and I've tried to use input type = 'hidden' to capture the value and send it to my asp page where I am sending the values to my database.

Here's the First Form:
<form action = "createBasic.asp" method = "post">
<input type="text" name="headline">
</form>

Here's the Second Form:
<form name = "theForm" method = "post" action = "createBasic.asp" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="headline" value="<%=Request.Form("headline&quot%>">
<input type="submit" value="Preview" >
</form>

Thank you for any help..

In your first form, I do not see where you are setting a value for headline. If you have not set a value, how can you pass anything to the second form?

Also, I assume that you are sending your data via the form post, yes?

Thank you for your replies. I realised I needed to set the value in form one so I gave the form a name(theFrm) and used a javascript function to set the value and pass it to form 2(theForm).

<script language = "javascript">
function getValue()
{
var header=window.document.theFrm.headline.value;
window.document.theForm.headline.value = header;
{
</script>
