Question about sending form results 1

[krappleby]

I have a form, which i need to send half the results to one place, and the other half to another page.. does anyone have any information or locations where i can get this info from so i can complete this task..

also if anyone has any info on how to copy info from one input text field to another automatically without using submit.
Currently i have a checkbox, (can use the on change function) or something, but need to know where i can get all the info from..

This sounds over complicated.
Where are the two destinations?

a single form cannot direct its output to two destinations.

however a receiving php script can do more than one thing with the data it gets, including sending some of it off to a second destination if needs be (but i agree with auiopro that this sounds like a design complication). By place here i mean url.

javascript can handle your client side interaction. have a look at the code snip below. if you want the changes to match key press by keypress then change onChange to onKeyUp

<form>
<fieldset>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
	function sendvalue(val) {
		document.forms[0].elements["receiving_field"].value = val;
	}
//]]>
</script>
Type here: <input type="text" name="sending_field" onChange="sendvalue(this.value);" /><br/>
and it will appear here: <input type="text" name="receiving_field" />
</fieldset>
</form>

Hi jpadie

thanks for the info on the javascfript, unfortuantely i am not skilled at all in that. lol.. anyway. i have changed the script to cdo this. however i have one more question.. here is the script set for my coding

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function sendvalue(val) {
document.forms[1].elements["receiving_name"].value = val;
document.forms[2].elements["receiving_name2"].value = val;
document.forms[5].elements["receiving_address1"].value = val;
document.forms[6].elements["receiving_adress2"].value = val;
document.forms[7].elements["receiving_town"].value = val;
document.forms[8].elements["receiving_postcode"].value = val;
document.forms[4].elements["receiving_email"].value = val;
document.forms[4].elements["receiving_email2"].value = val;
}
//]]>
</script>

now.. 1 more question. 1 of the fields is a textarea, which should contain

address 1
address 2
and town

how do i take the three input info and transfer it to only one text area..

Cheers

i'm not sure that your javascript will work.

i guess it is your intention to assign the value of sending_name to receiving_name, sending_email to receiving_email etc

in which case change the onChange event to "sendvalue(this);"

and the sendvalue function to

function sendvalue (elem) {
  var sn = new String(elem.name);
  var rn = sn.replace ("sending", "receiving");
  var v = elem.value;
  document.forms[0].elements[rn].value = v;
}

for the elements that you wish to combine just grab the values and concatenate them with "+".

if you want more help with javascript please report in the js forum. it's not that we don't want to help you but more that you will stand a better chance of getting a top class answer and other people with javascript queries are more likely to come across the solution if it is posted in the proper forum.
