Passing selected variables through form

Anon

Hi,

I currently have a form that gets data and outputs some links that can directly open URLs that I need without passing variables to another script which displays the results.. the form is something like <form name=test>

Now, I need to pass 2 variables to the script page, but not the rest of the variables..

I tried to use

it worked, but then all variables gets passed and I get these junk stuff on my URL

So the question is How to pass some selected variables to another script?

eg. I have the field <input type=textfield name=date value=2000>, and I would like another script to be able to read that variable 'date' without using the Get or post methods taht passes all the variales

Thank you.

Hi
Why would it matter if all of the vars are passed? Presumably you can just work on the vars you want?

I'm afraid your post was a little confusing, if I've missed the point please simplify!

This doesn't make sense. Form fields are, by definition, intended to be passed to the server for processing. If you don't want something passed to the server, don't make it a form field.

Sorry about the confusion, I looked at my original script and realized what I should do.. but still ahve no idea how to do it.. it's javascript related.

Below is a part of the script that takes the name of certain options that I have in the form which adds the values to them.. I need help to figure out how to add in the Input field (name) in the below function and assign a value to it.

var temp=document.doublecombo.stage2

function redirect(x){
for (m=temp.options.length-1;m>0;m--)
temp.options[m]=null
for (i=0;i<group[x].length;i++){
temp.options=new Option(group[x].text,group[x].value)
}
temp.options[0].selected=true
}

function go(){
creator.location=temp.options[temp.selectedIndex].value
