Form data passing

December 27, 2003 by Christopher Hayes

Of course it will depend on what kind of server model your "receiving page" is on, but what you're basically going to do is to set the form (on the sending server) action to the page you want to send the variables to.  IE   action=http://www.whatever.com (don't forget to make it an absolute URL).  You can use either post or get methods and that will help determine how you grab the variables on the receiving end and mainipulate them. 

You have serveral server models listed, so i'm not sure which one you are receiving on, but in ASP it would be Request.Querystring("formFieldName") when using the "get" method, and Request.Form("formFieldName") when using the "post" method.

This should get you started looking for resources on what you specifically want to do.

Let me know if I can help in any way,

Thanks for the reply Chris.

What I want exactly is to transfer a user who has just registered on my signup(javascript) to a third party's signup form( an asp page which i display in an iframe) and just transfer his info into the fields there making it easier for the user to just click submit to signup. Is Possible?

Thanks Again,

Anand

Not unless you can modify the 3rd party's form page.
