Submitting a value

[Guest_imported]

I have several submit buttons within my page.

<input type=button value=Access onClick=access()>

e.g.
function access(){
document.forms[0].action = './main.html';
document.forms[0].submit();
}

Is it possible to submit a value (access) from this function?? so that it can be read by the next page.

Why not take your buttons and pass a value to your function. Then within that function based on which button was pushed set a hidden variable that would be available to the next page?

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; value=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;buttonPressed&quot;>

<input type=button value=Access onClick=access(1)>
<input type=button value=Access onClick=access(2)>

function access(button)
{
if(button == 1)
{
document.forms[0].buttonPressed.value = &quot;pressed buton one&quot;;
}else{
document.forms[0].buttonPressed.value = &quot;pressed buton two&quot;;
}
document.forms[0].action = './main.html';
document.forms[0].submit();
}

Just a thought . .

Put a hidden field in your form and set the value of the hidden field from within your function:

document.forms[0].param.value = "access";
....
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;param&quot; value=&quot;&quot;>
