assigning a value to an input...

[Anon]

hi guys,

i have a page who have an input text. OnChange of the input text, i reload the page. But, everytime i reload the page (with the javascript command window.location.href), it erase the content of my input. Then, how can i assign a value for my input text? Or is there a way that I can reload my page without losing my precious information?

thanx in advance,

Jacinthe

why do you need to reload the page?

'cause i want to call a php function. With the onchange action i don't know how to call a php function i just know how to call a javascript function. so the javascript function reload the php page with parameter like myPage.php4?param1=something.
then, i can execute my php function...

... following me? (not sure if i'm clear)

and then, if a certain condition, i sometimes need the value they entered before the reload.

Make the forum submit to it self.

Lets say the page is index.php.
Then let the form-tag look like this:
<form name="myForm" action="index.php" method="post">

then

<input name="username" type="text" value="<?php print($HTTP_POST_VARS["username"]); ?>">

and instead of using document.location.href...
use "document.myForm.submit()" instead!

I hope you understand 😉

with javascript you know the value to every entry made into a field...example..

form.field_name.value

so pass it as a parameter to the php script ie..

http://gosomewhere.com?variable_name=form.field_name.value

thus field_name holds the value you want.

If this doesn't help ask more specifically and i'll try and help.
