Accessing confirmation fields from one form to another without fra

[JIM (JAJ)]

I am a beginner with javascript and probably a novice with FrontPage. I have
seen many issues regarding access to data from one form to another, none of
which cover off what I am trying to do.

I can get results from one form to show up in a confirmatin field using
webbots no problem. What I want to do is programatically access the
information in the confirmation form to use it in an if..then scenario
written with javascript. Is this possible? More importantly, is it possible
without using frames.

Any help is always appreciated...

Hi Jim,

Anything is possible. That said, FrontPage form handler components are
designed in a certain way, to function in a certain way, and they cannot be
modified (they are executable code in DLLs). but on the other hand, if the
developers for FrontPage can create executable server-side form handlers, so
can anyone else (with enough programming ability). Active Server Pages (ASP)
is possibly the easiest server-side programming technology to use (if your
site is hosted on a Windows server). On a Linux or Unix server, PHP would be
the best way to go.

You would have to write your own form handler to do this.

Thanks Kevin, I was hoping for a simpler solution (hoping there was a trick
to access the confirmation field variable), I guess life isn't meant to be
simple (or web forms).

Jim, you don't know the half of it! ;-)
