Someone please help - Forms

[Guest_imported]

I do not know where to go on this site in search of Microsoft Frontpage forums. This is what I want to accomplish but I am having trouble. Suppose some customer inputs information into the fields shown, then when they press the submit button it goes to a page where it shows what they have inputted, then once they've agreed on the information they inputted from that page they press a button and it shows them a confirmation. This may sound discrete, but I hope someone understands. A - B - C
A = the information the customer provides
B = "please verify the information you've submitted, once you've finished verifying your information, press the submit button."
C = thank you for your request, your information is being reviewed.

can someone help me out?
This is a basis for any internet company. I just need the functionality.

The only way to do it without some server-side scripting (CGI, ASP, PHP, etc.) would be to take the inputted form data and put it into a cookie using javascript, then on the confirmation page, you would get the cookie data back and display it. Then they would submit the form and the 3rd page would insert the data into your database and give them a confirmation using a server side scripting language.

In an e-commerce setting, you don't want to assume that the user has cookies enabled, so you would request the data from the form in the HTTP request with some sort of scripting language rather than putting it in a cookie.

Help any?

I seen posts where people also store data in a "hidden" frame to pass it around. Maybe that technique would work. You could also try passing the data as part of the url to the next page, and get it from the query string. Those are the only server-side options I know of.
