passing variable with onclick

ykwongss

Hi
is there a way to pass a variable to another page using onclick..
since i hav a few button that will direct to diferent pages...i want a certain variable to be pass along to that page...

<input type="button" value="<? $c ?> onclick="page_to_direct_to<? $c ?>.php">

$c is a dynamically incremented number.
I would like to pass another variable $i to the page the onclick action directed to..
$i is equal to the value of corresponding $c...
how is it possible...
please advise..
please include some sample code....

thanx

Javascript question.

(a) wrap the button in a form and use its submit() method
(b) use window.location instead and put the variable and its value in the URL's querystring.

Two good suggestions of how to fix but you missed the third. surely you can just pass the query string through the onclick.

<input type="button" value="<? echo $c; ?> onclick="page_to_direct_to<? echo $c; ?>.php?num=<? echo $i;?>">

i have a similar problem, except i am using post.

if($HTTP_GET_VARS[action] == "news") {

<form action=\"$PHP_SELF\" method=\"post\">
<input class=\"forminput\" name=\"subject\" value=\"$subject\" size=\"30\" style=\"float: left\">
 <input class=\"forminput\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\"> (please click once!)</table></form>
<textarea class=\"forminput\" cols=\"75\" rows=\"15\" name=\"message\">$message\n\n\n(submitted by $username)</textarea>

How do I get $message (text they entered into the form), and $subject forwarded to another page so they can see what they submitted to us?

You need to include the entries as hidden values

<form action="$PHP_SELF\" method=\"post\">
<INPUT type=\"hidden\" name=\"message\" value=\"$message\"
<INPUT type=\"hidden\" name=\"subject\" value=\"$subject\"
<input class=\"forminput\" name=\"subject\" value=\"$subject\" size=\"30\" style=\"float: left\">
<input class=\"forminput\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\"> (please click once!)
</table>
<textarea class=\"forminput\" cols=\"75\" rows=\"15\" name=\"message\">$message\n\n\n(submitted by $username)</textarea>
</form>

the two hidden variables dont show up on the screen. casue there hidden. but will appear for the next scripts use exactly like any other form input.

Mark.
