Default Problem in transfering 'option' fields as hidden field


Hi there!

I have got this script from Jim Buyens to enable me transfer data from one
form to another. Thanks Jim

I am experienceing one problem, with 'OPTIONFIEDS', in optionfields it
transfer the whole options,INCLUDING THE UNSELECTED ONES. I guess the problem
lies on the fact that I gave my optionfields the SAME group name. But to
allow my customers easily change their choices of option, I have to give the
optionfields of ONE QUESTION the same 'group name' but different values.
Then, how can I transfer
only the selected option as hidden and finnaly to the file on the server?

Thanks

Below is the script and note from Jim

On the first form page, right-click the form and choose Properties. Then,
select Send To Other and click Options.

In the resulting dialog box, set Action to the URL of your second form, and
Method to GET.

Now open the second form and add the following script to the <head> section.

<script>
function qsobj (){
var qvbl;
var qstring = "" + document.location.search.substring(1);
if (qstring != ""){
var qpairs = qstring.split("&");
for (i=0; i < qpairs.length; i++) {
qvbl = qpairs[i].split("=");
this["" + qvbl[0]] = unescape(qvbl[1].replace("+"," "));
}
}
}
function getqsvar(qsvar){
if (qstr[qsvar] == null){
return "";
}else{
return qstr[qsvar];
}
}
var qstr = new qsobj();

function initForm()
{
document.forms[0].C1.value = getqsvar("C1");
document.forms[0].T1.value = getqsvar("T1");
}
</script>

Note the two statements:
document.forms[0].C1.value = getqsvar("C1");
document.forms[0].T1.value = getqsvar("T1");
You need to modify/duplicate these once for each form field on the first
page. For example, if the first page contains four fields named custname,
address, city, and state, code:
document.forms[0].custname.value = getqsvar("custname");
document.forms[0].address.value = getqsvar("address");
document.forms[0].city.value = getqsvar("city");
document.forms[0].state.value = getqsvar("state");

Next, add an onload= attribute to the <body> tag like this.

<body onload="initForm();">

Finally, for each field on the first Web page, add a hidden form field like
ones below to the form on the second page:

<input type="hidden" name="custname" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="address" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="city" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="state" value="">
