Passing On Variables

[eiSecure]

Let's say I have 2 web pages. On the first one, the user enters text into a text field, and selects 2 options from 2 different drop-down menus.

Then the user clicks the submit button.

How do I display the user's selections on the second page, using client-side scripting/cookies.

I assume that you are talking about select combo(s) thr...
Here goes a sample code using ASP:

Page1.asp

<Form name=myForm method=Post action=page2.asp>
<Input type=text value="" name=MyText>Enter text here
<br>
<select name=dropdown1>
<option value="one">One
<option value="two">Two
<option value="three">Three
</select>
<select name=dropdown2>
<option value="First">First
<option value="Second">Second
<option value="Third">Third
</select>
<br>
<input type=submit value=Submit>
</Form>

Page2.asp
<%
response.write request.form("MyText")
response.write "<br>" & request.form("dropdown1")
response.write "<br>" & request.form("dropdown2")
%>

If you have any queries on this or anything else, do post back.

Actually, I solved it myself...

It involves using Javascript and cookies. I didn't want to pass the variables in the address because that would be a security weakness, since the page is for a bank's website's transaction page.

Thanks anyways.
