HTML - Hi - Retaining Field Values Without Coommiting Them To A Database

So I'm really new to html and I apologize if I'm asking a really obvious/ stupid question.
Is there any way that I could make an input button/ form and retrieve the input field value in a specific place? I mean like, is it possible to have the input value sent as a comment in a specific livejournal post?

Hey, I'm jst starting to learn html and I was someone could give me an example
of how to create a a simple form with 2 input fields which are set to a value say
"hello" in first field and "World" in second field when the button is clicked.

Thanks

is there a simple way to use data reposted to a form to determine which option is selected in a select box (based on its setting before)?

here is an example of the code i am using at present:

Code:

<label for="Options">Options</label>
	<select id="Options" name="Options">
		<optgroup label="Select Option">  
							 
			<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
			<option value="Option2" selected="selected">Option2</option> 
			<option value="Option3">Option3</option> 
			<option value="Option4">Option4</option> 
							  
		</optgroup>
	</select>

when this is posted the value selected in the select box may have changed (eg: to option3) . In this case it should be re-displayed in the following manner:

Code:

<label for="Options">Options</label>
	<select id="Options" name="Options">
		<optgroup label="Select Option">  
							 
			<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
			<option value="Option2">Option2</option> 
			<option value="Option3" selected="selected">Option3</option> 
			<option value="Option4">Option4</option> 
							  
		</optgroup>
	</select>

i am wondering if the selected="selected" element could be taken outside the option tag and set to point at the relevant option using a more dynamic method (utilising PHP or other methods) - one thing i am trying to avoid is having a PHP statement associated with each option value, in preference using a single statement which sets the relevant option to selected if possible.

any ideas?

Hello everyone.

I'm a bit new to these to please bear with me for a second. I hope I am asking this question in the right place.

I have a client that want's me to create some emailable stationary that they can in turn send to all their clients. I'm working on a MAC Leopard using Safari and Firefox.

The cool thing about Safari is that you can take any webpage and turn it into emailable stationary by going File>email contents of webpage. It will copy images, formatting CSS and I think embedded Java Scripts.

So I thought Great. I'll create a simple webpage, turn it into stationary... 30 minutes and I should be done. 3 days later I'm still working on this project and I'm stuck.

The issue it the. I have created a webpage. It's very simple you can view it here if you want
http://www.drewwfilms.com/Temp/Conte...ate/test3.html

The problem is this. I can't get text to stay. If I type text into the Textarea and do something like... create new webpage (to create a new webpage from the current address) the text will not copy into the new document. Does that make sense?

So the text getting entered into the textarea where is that in my html code? I've viewed the source code and cannot find it. Is it being entered into cache or something?

I do not know enough about this (obviously) and am really looking for some help. Anyone that could give a helping hand I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

HI,

The following code

HTML Code:

<SELECT NAME="TEST">
 <OPTION>TEST     TEST</OPTION>
</SELECT>

renders an option with 'TEST TEST'. Even though there are more than 1 white spaces, only single white space is given. How can I over ride this default behavior?

Thanks in advance,
Chandu.
