Hi!
I've looked around for other people who've had this problem, but the answers I've seen don't really apply to the code I've written and I could really use some help.
I have a form that dynamically creates a textbox using:
<html><select name='sporty' id = 'sport' onclick= answer(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)></html>
the function - answer - takes the value and calls another function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function OtherIndivAnswer()
{
var IntPath = document.signup.position;
var TheOptions = IntPath.options.length;
document.signup.position.options.length = 0;
IntPath.options[IntPath.options.length] = new Option('N/A','NULL');
document.getElementById("cell").innerHTML = "<div id=\"myDiv\"><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" color=\"#ff00ff\">Enter Sport:</font></div>";
document.getElementById("cell2").innerHTML = "<div id=\"myDiv\"><input type = \"text\" name = \"other_sport\" maxlength=\"100\"/></div>";
}
</script>
What I need to do is somehow get the value from cell2 to pass when the form is submitted to my php script. I've confirmed that the value is not in $HTTP_POST_VARS.
My only real idea is to pass it as a hidden value, but when I added the following lines to function OtherIndivAnswer()
<script type="text/javascript">
var the_sport =document.getElementById("cell2").value;
document.signup.write('<input type="hidden" name="the_sport" value="' + the_sport + '">');
</script>
nothing really changed.
If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it - I didn't post the entire script because it is huge, but if someone wanted to see it in full, I'll go ahead and do that.
