Grtting the title tag and putting it in a form 1

MarkRobinson · Mar 6, 2007

I'm looking to use javascript to extract the title tag of the page, assign it to a variable, then put that variable into a hidden field in a form so it can be passed.
It's "Where I came from" application.
Need Help with both the Javascript and the Form.

Sort of like:
---------------------------------
<head>
<title>Original Form</title>
<script>
Take the page title and put it in a variable
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="Form1" name="Form1" method="post" action="

http://handicappedpets.com/cgi-bin/myscript5.pl">

<label for="Submit"></label>
<input name= <The Variable> type="hidden" value="title" />
<input type="submit" name="Buy Now" value="Buy Now" id="Buy Now" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

I stuck the value into a textbox so that you could see the value being set, but it could just have easily been a hidden text box:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">[/URL]
<head>
<title>title test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript">

window.onload = function () {
   document.getElementById("txt").value = document.title;
}

</script>
<style type="text/css"></style>
</head>
<body>

<input type="text" id="txt" />

</body>
</html>
