Submit other values in forms or changing the current values??????

ale77 · Jul 22, 2003

Hi
I want to know if there is a way to submit a value from a form that is calculated during the process, or how to change the current value of a form.

I have a form with questions and radio buttons where each option has a value. Ex: Q1: option 1= 5, option 2=10...
After calculating the option value, I need to submit the option number, not the value!!! HELP

If, for some reason, you need to leave your values of your radio buttons as they are, then, onsubmit, use a javascript function to save the chosen radio button number to a hidden value field. Keep in mind that these numbers are zero-based.

e.g., RB1.html:

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
function saveChoice()
{
 for(i=0; i<RB_FORM.RB.length; i++)
  if(RB_FORM.RB[i].checked)
   RB_FORM.RB_CHOICE.value = i;
}//end saveChoice()
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME=RB_FORM METHOD=GET ONSUBMIT=saveChoice() ACTION=&quot;RB2.HTML&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO VALUE=10 NAME=RB> 10<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO VALUE=20 NAME=RB> 20<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO VALUE=30 NAME=RB> 30<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE='SUBMIT'>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=RB_CHOICE>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

e.g., RB2.html

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
alert(this.location.search);
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>

'hope this helps!

Hi again. Thanks Dave for your suggestion, your solution works but I have another problem. The problem is that the form value is referred to it dynamically like form.q1.value=point, form.q2.value=point, etc. So I don't know how to ASSIGN the value in that case.

Problems never end!!!. Bye

form1["q"+i].value = i;

THANKS
