Item ID from page carried over to FormHi,
I am designing a website for a furniture store. They do not want to sell Online, but would like customers to select an item and send that via email and request info/pricing etc. My question: if I place a tick box next to the item ID, how can i get that Items ID to be automatically transferred to the contact form when a user tick that and then populate a field automatically in the contact form that I want to create. The customer would tick the item, and then would go to the contact form, where he/she needs to fill in there other particulars and click submit. (The idea is that He/She does not have to make notes of the items He/She is interested in, but that it would be entered into the form automatically each time a check box is ticke) Is this possible ? -- Do not fix stuff that ain''t broken You can do that with server side code (to store the "shopping" form results in a session variable) until they go to the contact form
- how depends on what server side technology you hosting OS supports You can also pass the "shopping" form results to the contact for using client side JavaScript - if you want to always send them from the "shopping" form to the contact form -- Show quoteHide quote_____________________________________________ SBR @ ENJOY (-: [ Microsoft MVP - FrontPage ] "Warning - Using the F1 Key will not break anything!"

If all your pages are .ASP then you send the results of your selection checkbox page to a results .asp page with the below at the top or the page <% Session("Product") = Request.Form("yourformfieldnamehere") %> <p>Thank you for your interest in <%=Session("Product") %> </p> And on your contact form .asp page you include the value in a hidden form field w/i the form as: <input type="hidden" name="Product" value="<%=Session("Product") %>"> For more info in using ASP seehttp://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp -- Show quoteHide quote_____________________________________________ SBR @ ENJOY (-: [ Microsoft MVP - FrontPage ] "Warning - Using the F1 Key will not break anything!"
