Substitute textarea for Activex ?

[Jmacp]

I was wanting to substitute a standard textarea for an activex control i made, so far the OCX is just a VB textbox, but i want to know how i can use this in a form post method to post/get its value, is it just the same as for a standard textarea or can you do this at all, for ex,

<form method="post" action="main.php">

<object classid="clsid:90E8CF72-B40A-11DA-8660-0002446E1033" id="T1" width="303" height="240">
<param name="_ExtentX" value="8017">
<param name="_ExtentY" value="6350">
</object>

<---- submit button etc

</form>

Can i post the Value for T1 then recieve this with say php ?

In the submit button's onclick event,

document.form1.somehiddenfield.value = document.form1.T1.value

Then get the value of somehiddenfield.

I put a hidden field in called hid1,

<input type="hidden" name="hid1">
<input type="submit" value="Preview" onclick="document.form1.hid1.value=document.form1.T1.value;alert(document.form1.hid1.value);">

Is that syntax correct, the alert is there just to test ?

giving me an error.

The error being...?

syntax code 0 also removed the alert part and also tried this,

<input type="submit" value="Preview" onclick="document.getElementById("hid1").value=document.getElementById("T1").value">

[Jmacp]

Tried this as well the msgbox displays an 'undefined'.

<script language="JavaScript">

function testit(){

document.getElementById("hid1").value=document.getElementById("UserControl11").value;
var e = document.getElementById("hid1").value;
alert(e);

return false;
        }

</script>	


<form method="post" action="main.php">

<object classid="clsid:90E8CF72-B40A-11DA-8660-0002446E1033"
id="UserControl11" width="303" height="240">

<param name="_ExtentX" value="8017">
<param name="_ExtentY" value="6350">

</object>
                                                            	
<input type="hidden" name="hid1">	
<input type="submit" value="Preview" onclick="return testit()">
