URLs in forms???

[Nathan Martin]

Hello all,

Is there a way for a form to include the URL of the page the form is found
on? I have a form that is inserted on hundreds of pages via the include
webbot. It would be helpful if the output of the form included the page the
form was submitted from. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Nathan

You may be able to do this with JavaScript. I know it can be done with ASP, ASP.Net or other
server-side scripting languages.

Thanks for that info. I'm on a Unix server so from what I understand ASP and
ASP.Net are not options for me. I was hoping to be able to do this within FP
but it looks like I'll have to look outside. Thanks again.

Hi,
you'd just need to stick a hidden field on the form then populate it with
the current page, eg
<form......
your form fields
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.forms[0].url.value=location.href;
</script>
