How do I pass a value from one fronpage form to another?

Hi Joel,

Not possible with the intrinsic form functionality of FP but you can use a little JavaScript or if you're more adventuresome use ASP
to accomplish.

There are basically three ways.
1) Request.form variables
If you use a form, and the action of the submit button is another page, then if you had a
textbox named Address, the recieving page (asp) would access that as request.form("Address")

2)Request.Querystring variables
A value tacked onto the URL of the recieving page. If your link or submit button calls say
SecondPage.htm and you want to send address, then the URL would be SecondPage.htm?addr=124
Main Street Accessed as Request.Querystring("addr"). This method makes the fields
transmitted visible on the address line.

3) Session variables. On the sending page do Session("Name")="Joel" the recieving page
accesses this as Session("Name"). This is available to a viewer as long as their session
lasts.

Do a Google on these three for more detail.

Or you can use just plain old JavaScript for client side
See http://www.irt.org/script/form.htm#10.3
