HTML form values

[DrAsh]

Can values be represented by text. Such as, If I name a text form on my webpage to be test_taker, shouldn't anything someone writes in that box represent it's value. So than test_taker.value should be interpreted as John Myname or john_myname.value or test_taker.john myname.

If I wanted to take the information someone write in my text box to be recreated in another spot on my webpage. How can I do this then.

In others words, someone write their name on their exam in my text box. I want to set it up such that if that person passes the exam, that name/value he entered earlier, will get posted to a certificate on the same page. How can I make that command.

You are correct in that formname.fieldname.value should return the value of the field. There are a lot of ways you can insert that value into the certificate, depending on which browser you are targeting, etc. Tracy Dryden
