Can two forms share values within a function
Good day
Should I be able to do this?
function showCatsSubmit(catId,catName)
{
showCats.id.value = catId;
showCats.catName.value = catName;
showCats.submit();
showCats.eventTitle.value = createNewEvent.eventTitle.value
}
I have two forms on a page:
1..showCats
2..createNewEvent
My objective is to submit showCats, reload the page, then pass the value in showCats.eventTitle to createNewEvent.eventTitle
'ShowCats' is completely hidden. It is used to show a tree structure of items within a category, each with a checkbox for selection. 'createNewEvent' is seen on the page however when a category is selected ('ShowCats' is submitted) to show its tree items of course I loose the values any 'createNewEvent' form input fields.
mmmmmm, I havenât coded a page this way before but logically it seems like it should be possible. I get no error's, everything is defined, the submit function runs fine, the tree works fine. Should I be able to say? (line 6 of the function above):
showCats.eventTitle.value = createNewEvent.eventTitle.value
TYIA

Please dis regard the above post, missing semi colons was stopping it. I was under the impression that should have given me an error since I have told IE to give me script errors.

Intresting...
I always thought the page would refresh immediatly after the execution of submit() and the
"showCats.eventTitle.value = createNewEvent.eventTitle.value;" would never execute at all...

Yes, quite correct you are indeed. Semi colon I think not - no wonder there was no error, it never got to that line (it all becomes clear). Perhaps someone spiked my coffee yesturday, seems I was coding like a blunt knife. Thank you for your comments.

You may have removed your post however its still in all our inboxes. What on earth are you talking about? I do not follow you, your post made no sense and had nothing to do with my original problem, nor solution. Whats your angle?

Matt, in the current incantation of your script it will not work (as you have pointed out), however, you may be able to use some crafty javascript to accomplish this task.
Do you HAVE to submit the form for any reason? (A call to an ASP page for instance) If you do not, why not use the visiblity property of DIV tags in your functions to show and hide your forms as necessary?? (This will give your page a bit of an ajax feel)
hth.

Hi there - Yes I did solve this with JS sometime ago. Going by the dates, 2004 I believe.
I must say I was suprised to see MolemanJake's post thismorning, did you see it? He removed it 2 hours later however it remains in our in boxes of course. I remain confused about it, very strange indeed.

LoL, ya i normally don't look at the dates, i just see the post popup on the Active topics page and take a look at them.
I did not see the post in question, however, people do strange things here from time to time.
