Accessing another form's elements thru javascript

[shalni]

Hi,

Consider two pages, first.html and second.html. From first.html, i am submitting a form to second.html. I must access form elements of first.html in second.html through javascript. How to do this? Please help

You should just access them via normal html method to get the post variables. HTTP_POST_VARS - I think.
Then put those into the new form.

Sorry, ignore my last statement. Wrong forum, sorry. :-(

If the second page is being generated by some server side code and the first page is POSTed to it, then you can have the code add the first page's fields as HIDDEN fields on the form.

If you are passing from one HTML page to another, suggest that you try using the GET method to pass the data - i.e. via the browsers Query String.

Alternatively, you could look at Cookies.
