form values |RESOLVED|

[davebat]

how do i include a hidden value ina form that is the value of a select box from another form. I.E

this is my form

<form name="period">
  <select name="period" size="1">
    <option value="04">04</option>
    <option value="05">05</option>
    <option value="06">06</option>
    <option value="07">07</option>
  </select>
</form>

and then in another form I have:

<form action="orion_s002.asp" method="post" name="form1" target="_self">
 
<input type="hidden" name="F_PROFILE" value="<%response.write V_PROFILE%>">
 
 <input type="hidden" name="F_ACCESS" value="<%response.write V_ACCESS%>">
 
<input type="hidden" name="F_PERIOD" value="javascript:document.period.value">

this doesnt seem to work however and passes javascript:document.period.value as a text string. what am i doing wrong

Try something like:

<form name="period">
  <select name="period" size="1" onChange="document.forms('form1').F_PERIOD.value=this.value">
    <option value="04">04</option>
    <option value="05">05</option>
    <option value="06">06</option>
    <option value="07">07</option>
  </select>
</form>

I tested it and it works (IE6), but I'm not sure if it's valid in all browsers.
