I have created a page that should do 2 things. (1)Take the form data and insert it into a database and go to next page and (2) request the form elements and display them.

When i click the next button it inserts the data fine into the database but the request.form elements on the next page dont work.

Trying it without the insert behaviour and the next page displays the info fine.

What am i doing wrong?

HELP!!!

Hi Simon

This is the nature of web servers I'm afraid.

There are ways around this, one way would be to capture the inserted record unique_id and pass that to another page using the querystring.

What web server, server-side scripting language and db are you using?

thanks for your reply

i found a work around.

what i do now is first go to display data, capturing all the form information, then when the confirm link is clicked it then submits it to the database.

cheers for your help.
