Hi;
First I have to say that I am new to Web programming.
I need some help on passing the user inputs to new
browser page.
I have a page that have some fields in it, and the
user will fill in these fields. I want to be able to
open a new browser page and to display the user
inputs. Not in the same browser page.
I don't know how to do that. First I thought to create
an XML file in some directory, then parse it and
display it in new browser page. I don't know this idea
is going to work, because:
where I have to save the XML file: in server or client
machine? How and when to delete the file? does this is
a good method to do this?
I would Appreciate if someone help me on this.
Thanks
MO

With, or without, submitting the original page?
If the latter, you're stuck with client-side javascript.
If the former, then you can use querystring, or cookies, or <gasp> session
variables</gasp>
Just write the values of the form elements to a querystring. Use client-side
javascript to open a new window with the URL having the querystring
appended.

Thanks Ken for your response;
I used the querystring and it does work, but I am
concern about performanance and speed of submitting to
the new browser page, because the string is going to
be very long and I have to pass many fields input to
the new browser page. Also,I can't use the cookies or
session variables, we are not allowed.
Thanks

Do you have to submit the data back to the web server.
As Ken indicated, you can use JavaScript to open a new window, write HTML
'on the fly' to the new window. This HTML can include data from the form
elements on the main page.

Well, I don't really have any other ideas...you could try:
a) buying all your client's faster internet connections
b) magic
c) ...
Maybe someone else on the list has a more creative brain than me... :-)
