HTML - Html Form Variable

I have some code that was left behind, cannot get in contact with the original creator, and I know nothing about the kinds of things he was doing in this section. No documentation either.

Code:

<tr><td>Thread ID:&nbsp;&nbsp;<td><input id=a0 size=10>
<tr><td>Name:&nbsp;&nbsp;<td><input id=a1 size=20>
<tr><td>Email:&nbsp;&nbsp;<td><input id=a2 size=20>
<tr><td>Subject:&nbsp;&nbsp;<td><input id=a3 size=20>
</table>
<p>Message:<p><textarea id=msg rows=10 cols=50></textarea><p>
Image: <input id=file1 type=file> (Leave this blank if you don't want to post an image.)<p>

This is how it starts out, simple enough, the part that i'm intested in is the "Message" section, as i want to be able to add a random value to whatever is inserted.

The message part enters a loop at some point of the code.

Code:

'"resto"\r\n\r\n'+t+s+
'"name"\r\n\r\n'+a1.value+s+
'"email"\r\n\r\n'+a2.value+s+
'"sub"\r\n\r\n'+a3.value+s+
'"com"\r\n\r\n'+msg.value+s+
'"upfile"; filename="'+fso.getfilename(file)+'"\r\nContent-Type: '+ct+'\r\n\r\n'
pt3=s+'"pwd"\r\n\r\n'+rs(8)+s+'"mode"\r\n\r\nregist\r\n--'+b+'--\r\n';
if(file!="")pt3=rs(20)+pt3;
wsh.currentdirectory=fso.getspecialfolder(2);
var f1=fso.createtextfile("part1.tmp");
var f3=fso.createtextfile("part3.tmp");
f1.write(pt1);
f3.write(pt3);
f1.close();
f3.close();
if(file!="")fso.copyfile(file,"part2.tmp");
if(file=="")wsh.run("cmd /c copy /b part1.tmp+part3.tmp request.txt",0,1);
else wsh.run("cmd /c copy /b part1.tmp+part2.tmp+part3.tmp request.txt",0,1);
var a=new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Stream");
a.mode=3;
a.type=1;
a.open();
a.loadfromfile(fso.getabsolutepathname("request.txt"));
x.send(a);
a.close();

i think this is where something happens to the message...

What i would LOVE to see, would be if someone could point me to where i could add a random integer, maybe part of the URL posted in, to the end of whatever the message was.

You're a life-saver if you can figure out where you might be able to add a random number of some sorts to the end of the initial message.

Hi All,

I am new to html programming. I am having problem in sharing a variable between 3 html pages. I tried googling for the solution but couldn't get the right one.
A brief about my problem is...
1. I have 3 html pages, 1.htm, 2.htm & 3.htm
2. I have a variable var1 in 1.htm which is set to 0.
3. 1.htm will open 2.htm and 3.htm
4. 3.htm will update the var1 variable declared in 1.htm to 1 on onunload event.
5. 2.htm will check the status of var1 for value 1, if yes it will navigate to next page.

I have pasted the code below for 1.htm, 2.htm & 3.htm respectively.
Can anyone please help me in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I'm trying to pass a variable from some HTML code to JavaScript and I'm having some trouble. For example:

HTML Code:

<form name ="columnList" onchange="submitForm(this);">
        Column: <c:forEach var="columnitem" items="${columns}">
                    <c:if test="${columnitem.name != this.document.columnList.name}">
                        <input type="checkbox" name="selectedColumns" id="${columnitem.name}" value="${columnitem.name}">${columnitem.name} </input>
                        <script type="text/javascript" language ="JavaScript">
                            var col = document.columnList.columnitem.name;
                            setColumns(col);
                        </script>
                    </c:if>
                </c:forEach>

I'm trying to get the columnitem name from the HTML portion to the script. And I know that columnitem.name works for the check boxes. Can anyone help me out?

Hi, I have what I think is a simple problem, but I am not sure how to solve it (because I am fairly new at php):

I want to use a google map link where it will show the destination address. This link uses the iFrame component. Now, on my site, I want the user to enter his/her departing address, and what is entered will be input into a php variable $address. I am still experimenting, but I wanted to replace the google link that is in the iFrame (say it is www.googlemaps.com/location1+location2+location3) I want to replace "location1" with $address. The thing is, when i try to put a php variable inside an html coding, it won't work. I am trying to integrate it without having to use <?php ?>, but rather in the body of the html. I also tried <?=$address?> but this also did not work. Could anyone help me out? it seems very simple.

Hello, I'm a newbie in HTML Development. Could someone please help me on this?

I'm calling another HTML ie. http://www.mywebsite.com/Page2.html?ID=1234

Basically, I'm on Page1.html and there's a link there that I'm referencing to call Page2 but passing a variable of ID=1234. How can I use this ID=1234 in Page2's vbscript? In my Page2.html, I have a vbscript section and I want to get the passed variable.

How can I do this? What should I put in:

<script type="text/vbscript">

strProductID= ???????

...
</script>


Thanks in advance!

Hi folks - right then, think im being thick here lol

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="myvariable2">

I have a variable say called myvariable1, how do I pass that into the above so that value becomes equal to it?

ie myvariable2 = myvariable1

myariable2 also needs to be/become numeric.

Any help appreciated, ta karl

script completed, thx

Okay. I use a javascript that detects the browser and if it is Internet Explorer it sets IE=true;. Later I need to check wether it's true or false, but the problem is that the rest of the site is html. So my question is, how do I detect in html wether a javascript variable is true or false?

I really need some help on this one.

This htm file contains no errors, but the "amount" value is not passed to the form (does not appear on the shopping cart). If I type in the value for the amount in the input field, everything works fine, but I need the amount to be dependent on the item_name selected.

The shopping cart just shows this error message "Some required information is missing or incomplete."

Any suggestions?

So, still rather new to writing HTML. I'm looking to put either a text field or drop down box onto the page dependent on a previously defined variable. How do I go about doing that?

Hello,

I have a code ( see below) with a while loop that gives me a table that shows on the right side after every entry a link 'EDIT' that sends the variabe id to the script 'editjoke.php'.


while ($joke = mysql_fetch_array($jokes)) {
$id = $joke['id'];
$joketext = htmlspecialchars($joke['joketext']);
echo "<td>$joketext</td>\n";
echo "<td ><a href='editjoke.php?id=$id'>Edit</a></ td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";


Now I created a new code with the same idea but it should have on the left side 'radio-buttons' and on the left side only one EDIT-button.

Two days ago I thought it works but now it seems so that the variable is not send to editjoke.php.

Here is the code:


<form action="editjoke.php" method="post">
...
...
while ($num = mysql_fetch_array($number)) {
//echo "<tr valign='top'>\n";
$id = $num['id'];
$Auskunft = htmlspecialchars($num['Auskunft']);
//echo "<td>$Auskunft</td>\n";

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
<input type="submit" value="SUBMIT" />

}

</form>

How do I have to change the code that the variable 'id' will be send to the script edithjoke.php?

Hi

My first post here, so I hope it's a good one!

I have a form which I want a javascript function to be able to manipulate the action= line. the reason I want this is so I can manipulate the subject line.

the javascript looks like this:
Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function getMAILTO(){

var mailto = "andy.plumb@conwy.gov.uk?subject=EN$(FORMNO)";
alert(mailto)
document.Enrolment.action = mailto; 
}
</script>

I have put the alert in so i can see what the variable produces.

The form line looks like this:
HTML Code:

<form action="mailto:javascript:getMAILTO()" method="post" >

Taking it slow...

I need a web page. This web page will be composed of an irrelevant amount of questions, possibly twenty (20).

An prospective applicant should be able to come to this web page, fill out the questions, and press a submit button. The questions should then be taken from that web page, put into either a Word document (.doc) or a PDF file (.pdf) in their corresponding areas. As a side note, the prospective applicant should not be able to see or edit the actual Word document or PDF file. He or she should just be able to fill in answers to the questions given and then submit and be done until called for an interview.

This Word document or PDF file would then be emailed to the designated person that handles job applications. All of the necessary information would be already filled in, allowing for, lets say, an immediate interview with the prospective applicant once they arrive at the business instead of having to fill out the form by hand, possibly wasting 20-30 minutes.

How would I go about making this? Is it even possible? Do I have to buy expensive software?

Thanks in advance!

What do i do? What im trying is the action is "http://website.com/images/" but what im trying to do is where the user can enter its own text like "Image1.png" so when they do hit submit. It will enter the action= "http://website.com/images/" in the address bar and then what ever the user typed in it will followed right behind it for example ="http://website.com/images/image1.png"

Code:

<form name="input" action="http://website.com/images/" 

method="get">
Search: <input type="text" value="" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

This is what i have so far. Not entirely sure its correct. Because it always have the "?=" Before the text so it will always get the address wrong. Does anyone know what i mean. Or is it even possible to have something were they don't have to enter the ".png" the code will insirt it at the end.

Hello,

I am new to the forums, and i have been using HTMl for quite some time now. I was just wondering, i have a custom pc building form, and as of right now i am using javascript and all the items are stored in the HTML of the BODY tag.

I was wondering if there is a way i can modify the form, and have the pull down items populate from an external database.

eg.
Current
HTML Code:

<table class="cpu_content" width="800" align=center id="table1">
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td></td>
    <td><strong>Qty</strong></td>
    <td><strong>Total</strong></td>
  </tr>
    
  <tr class="lineitem">
  <td>CD-ROM Drives:</td>
  <td>
    <select name="prod_1" class="quoteselect" onchange="updatePrice(1, this.value)">
     <option value="Select:0" selected>-- Select --</option>
     <option value="Asus:0">--ASUS-- </option>
     <option value="Asus52xCD:20.0">Asus 52x CD-ROM Drive ($20.00)</option>
     <option value="Asus52XDBL:20.0">Asus 52x CD-ROM Drive (Black) ($20.00)</option>
     <option value="LG:0">--LG--</option>
     <option value="LG52xCD:20.0">LG 52x CD-ROM Drive ($20.00)</option>
     <option value="LG52xCDBL:20.0">LG 52x CD-ROM Drive (Black) ($20.00)</option>
    </select>
   </td>
   <td>
    <select name="qty_1" id="qty_1" onchange="calculateSubtotal()">
     <option value="0">0</option>
     <option value="1">1</option>
     <option value="2">2</option>
     <option value="3">3</option>
     <option value="4">4</option>
     <option value="5">5</option>
     <option value="6">6</option>
     <option value="7">7</option>
     <option value="8">8</option>
     <option value="9">9</option>
     <option value="10">10</option>
    </select>
   </td>
   <td>
    <input id="st_1" type="text" size="5" class="subtotal" value="0.00" readonly name="T1">
   </td>
</tr>

.....More items here....

...Tax/Shipping/Totals will go here....

So my question would be, how could this code be modified to use a dabase to store the items for the pulldown menus, if this is possible?

Thanks for reading,
