form to form value exchange

[andrewgrain]

I have a personalised gift product shop. I am using PayPal add to cart button code, but want to add text fields in a seperate form to any product selected as the options eg

1. User fills in options in form1 eg To: Baby James, From : Mum & Dad, Dedication: Lots of love etc

2. User clicks add to basket for a chosen product eg a card, mug, pen etc

3. values of form1 to be concatinated and assigned to the hidden option value fields, os0 or os1 of the selected product

4. Add the product to the cart with options.

How can I do this
Many thanks.

Instead of concatenating them, wouldn't it be easier to have different hidden fields for each of the form items? (I'm assuming here that there's a reason for the hidden fields, as opposed to just relying on the ACTUAL fields in the form).

<input type='hidden' name='hiddenTO' />
<input type='hidden' name='hiddenFROM' />
<input type='hidden name='hiddenDEDICATION' />

Then, in your javascript:

formName.hiddenTO.value = formName.userToField.value;
formName.hiddenFROM.value = formName.userFromField.value;
...

If you absolutely MUST concatenate:

<input type='hidden' name='concatenatedFields' />

Then, in your javascript:

formName.concatenatedFields.value = formName.userToField.value + "*" + formName.userFromField.value + "*" + formName.userDedicationField.value;

Is this the kind of thing you're talking about needing?
