How to output data from your last form?

RedLion · Oct 30, 2000

Hello,

I searched everywhere, but I can't find it anywhere. I've got one form where the user can put his info. And an otherside which is there for previewing before posting it to the mail ( .pl) but how can I make the preview page?



<html>
<head>
<body>

<form action="preview.htm" method="post" name="myForm">
<input type="text" name="Name" value="George">
<input type="submit">

</body>
</head>
</html>



<html>
<head>
<body>

Your info to submit:

name:
<script language="JavaScript">
document.write(form.myForm.Name.value)
</script>

</body>
</head>
</html>

What am I doing wrong at preview.htm? It seems that I call the form var's not well?

Thanks,

Charl

Yes Nick, I had posted the message at first at DHTML when I was searching for an answer I saw the JavaScript forum and thaugt it had to be posted here instead of the DHTML, so I'll do it the next time.

Only it's still not working!

Charl,
Try changing the name of the field. It's not a good idea to use the same name as javascript or html objects or attributes. (name is an attribute of just about every object.)

Thanks Nick, but it didn't help.
When I use:

document.write("Hello&quot

The output is: Hello

So the problem is using the var's from the first form, and not writing text to page. It seems it doesn't reconise the vars in the second form. (How can I test if it reconises the var's? )
