passing form values

I am attempting to make a health survey form. Viewers would select an answer from select menu for 18 questions in 2 seperate sections one for hyperactivity and the other for inattentive. Each of these questions have a value number between o and 3.

I would like to add the total for each section of questions and output that on a second page with a combined total, and an interpretation based on the the totals for each section.

Example:    Section 1 inattentive = 12
                 Section 2 hyperactive = 19
                 Combined Total = 31
                 Impression: ADHD Combination type tends to be more hyperactive

But I am lost. Any help woud be appreciated.

Thanks, Bea

Bea,

Forgive me is this is to simplistic, but I do not know what you know.

You are going to have to write a form handler to deal with the information. It is easy enough if you know a scripting language like pearl, Java, ASP, or PHP.

You will have the user input the information on a form, have the form pass the information to the handler, and then output the info onto another web page.

Hope this helps.

I actually firged it out....It just took a little time.
I am very new to Cold Fusion. But what I wrote actually works very well.

Thanks for the input.
