Passing variable by form

[Anon]

I have a form with a text box where I put the amount of a transaction.

When I click the Order button, it should send this amount to an html page at my merchants site. However, to get an $amount value for, say, $97, you have to enter 9700 on the form. But I want my customers to enter just 97.

Is there a way to pass the variable across to the secure area when clicking the order button so that it multiplies the value by 100?

Thanks,

Jon

Well, I don't know exactly how you are passing the variables, but if it would work in a straight form then try this.

// Your submit button
<input type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit" onClick="functionname()">

//javascript that you would actually use to
//pas the information

function functionname(){

 theform = document.formname;
 //amountvalue is the name of the textbox
 theform.amountvalue.value = theform.amountvalue.value * 100;

  theform.submit();

}

That is a basic idea of what you can do using Javascript. You could also pass it a hidden value instead of switching the textbox value. Hope that helps.
