Passing form text as a URL variable

[Hanlie]

Can anyone tell my why the following code doesn't pass the number typed into the column_id text box to the column_detail.php page as a URL parameter?

<form action="../results/column_detail.php?recordID=<?php echo $column_id; ?>" method="post" name="id" class="text" id="id"><label>Column id </label>
<input name="column_id" type="text" id="column_id" size="10" maxlength="10">
<input name="seach_by_id" type="submit" class="text" id="serach_by_id" onClick="MM_validateForm('search_id','','RisNum');return document.MM_returnValue" value="search by column id">

</form>

Thanks
Hanlie

method="get"

This is just a possibility ... try putting the 'value' attribute in the input tag ...

<input name="column_id" type="text" id="column_id" value="" size="10" maxlength="10">

... might work!

method=GET did the trick.

Thanks!
