Hi All,

I have designed a html form that collects the user input and emails it to an address.

FORM FIELDS
----------------------------

form field 1 : Title
form field 2 : First Name
form field 3 : Last Name


I am trying to set a hidden field value(Full Name) using the 3 form fields. to give me :

Full Name = form field 1 + form field 2 + form field 1

Eg: Mr. Joe Bloggs

Bit stuck, unfortunately the server does not support ASPpages, I would prefer to run the scripting elements of the form on the server, as I have been advised that alot of firewall/filtering tools block client side scripting these days..

Any help will be most appreciated..Many thanks

Hi Barney,

Thanks for your reply.. I think I'm still missing something.. here is the code that I am using.

<script language="vbscript">
sub submit_onSubmit
dim fullname
fullname = (inforequest.title.value)+ ". " + (inforequest.first_name.value)+ " " + (inforequest.last_name.value)
(inforequest.fullname.value)=fullname
end sub
</script>


<html>
<input name="fullname" type="hidden" id="fullname">
</html>


Where am I going wrong.. thanks ..

Regards

Whatever those lines meant, use this as the reference to read or write to the value of the hidden box.
[tt] document.getElementById("fullname").value[/tt]

the <html> should be wrapped around the script. i tried this code without the hidden type, and it displayed the string in the input box. so the code works.



<html>

<script language="vbscript">
sub submit_onSubmit
dim fullnamex
first_nam = "first name"
last_name = "last name"
initials = "initial"
fullnamex = first_nam & "-" & last_name & "-" & initials
' fullnamex = (title.value)& ". " + (first_name.value)& " " & (last_name.value)
fullname.value =fullnamex
end sub
</script>

<body>

<input name="fullname" id="fullname"> <br>
<input type="button" value="submit" name="run_button3" onClick="submit_onsubmit">

</body>
</html>
