Passing form values from one form to another? I have to click inside

albnuts · Aug 20, 2000

You can view this by going to

http://www.eastbaypages.com/form1.htm

I have 4 forms. Each form has three text fields that are set up to pass info to the next form by just clicking inside the text box. The information if remembered, but I would like to have it work with not having to click inside the box. I would like to have it to go to form2.htm and have the info already inside the box..Do you have any suggestions?

Two men get on a train going south at 50 mph and travel for 7 minutes then changes seats. Then three women get on the train and sit on both sides of each man. One women is wearing a hat, one is a read head and the third is a night clerk at the AMPM on 42nd avenue. 6 miles later both men get off the train. The first man buys the second mans watch for 10 dollars and gives him a 20 dollar bill to purchase it. How much change does he get?

What the heck does all that other junk have to do with the problem or the question, it's just getting in the way, get rid of it when you post a question.

Hi, -pete

You are wrong. All "that other junk" is useful info. I wish other questions gave that much detail. What seems a waste of space is your story. I hope someone can answer the question intelligently.

> You are wrong.

I see, well I could perform the work myself to reduce the amount of code to the minumum required to produce the behavior described in the original post in order to prove my point. However I don't feel I should have to, it's a fairly simple concept, so I'm not going to. You go right on believing what you want. But thanks for your input just the same.
