sending and receiving 'location.href;' 1

[ralphonzo]

yes, i'm sure this is deadly basic knowledge to you all, but i'm looking to punch something around now!!

i need to send the 'location.href;' of a page to the next page via a form and i'm damned if i can pick up the javascrpt variable. i've tried hidden fields and onclicks and i'm stumped. can anybody help?

Try this:

<form ... [b]onsubmit="this['referrer'].value=location.href"[/b]>
[b]<input type="hidden" name="referrer" value=""/>[/b]
...
</form>

This will set the value of the field "referrer" (in the current form) to the value of the javascript variable location.href (which is the current URL). It does this just before the form is sent off.

Should do the trick!

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!
