Preview button?

[youradds]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows how to do this - Basically, I'm trying to make a page, which lets you open a new "window" , to preview how the details you are about to submit, will look on the live site.

ATM, I have:


<center><input type="submit" value="Update Listing" name="add" class="button" />
<input type="button" value="Preview" name="preview" class="button" onclick="window.open('/cgi-bin/page.cgi?p=preview','Preview','width=800,height=800,left=0,top=100,screenX=0,screenY=100')" />
&nbsp; <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset" class="button" /></center>

Now, what I need - is that when this page is clicked, the details are passed along to /cgi-bin/page.cgi?p=preview

There are a LOT of fields (about 30 of them, and a lot are long HTML strings, so I would imagine doing a list of all the values via a URL string wouldn't be very praticle/simple to do)

Obvioulsy I can't just do a normal "submit" - as this would submit the data into the script (and thus would be updated) - does anyone know of a way I can work around this?

TIA!

Surely instead of submitting to your update script, you just need to have a different script that you submit to that simply loads a new page with the data filled in?

A bit like TT, where you have both "Preview" and "Submit" buttons below the reply box.

Hi,

Interesting - why didn't I think of that before!

Thanks (sometimes just takes someone to give you a nudge in the right direction )

Cheers
