JS using Form - Help

[pkirkley]

I am trying to use JS to set a global variable and then assign that variable to an

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;variable_name&quot;>

but I am not getting the value of the variable to the server. I get nothing and if I try to set a value

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;variable_name&quot; value=variable_name>

I get &quot;variable_name&quot; and not the value of variable_name.

Does the form have visability to the JS variable for assignment? I execute the JS via a onClick= for the submit button.

Thanks for any help.

It should be working. Hard to tell what's wrong without seeing the code, but here's some hints. To set a global variable, put something like this inside script tags, but no in a function.

var variable_name = "value";

In your onClick function:

document.formname.fieldname.value = variable_name;
