Heya to all.

I just wanted to know if anyone knows how to pass information from one form to the next.

I have created the following forms.

'form1.htm'
'form2.htm'
'form3.htm'

I would like to pass the information from form1.htm to form2.htm and then then information from form1 & 2 to form3.htm.

Once the info has all passed to form3.htm, the user clicks the submit button and info from all 3 forms gets submitted at once.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Malcolm.

form1 action = form2.html
form2 action = form3.html
(hidden field from form 1)
form3 action = [whatever file you use to process the form eventually]
(hidden fields from form 1 & 2)

ok now to pass between pages, (not forms) keep the form name the same on the 3 pages.

submit form1, then on form 2, add some 'hidden fields' naming them in correspondence to the form items in form 1, this will now grab and pass on forms 1&2 to page 3.
now on page 3, just add the same hidden fields for form1, and do the same for the elements you have in form 2.

Hi Dave.

Thanks for replying to my question.

So dose this mean that if I have in form1.htm about 15 text fields, that I have to create in form2.htm 15 hidden fields with the names of each text field?

And also in form2.htm I have another 15 text fields, so that means that form3.htm should have a total of 30 hidden fields which are carried over from forms 1 & 2?.

Dave, thanks for your help.

Thanks for the feedback. I tryed it as you commented earlier and it didnt work. I continued to ghet the following default message.

I had the form method to POST. Once I changed it to GET, it worked.

Is there any way to have the form working with POST?. Do you know why the above message comes up when I have it set to POST?


Thanks for your help.
