Get from JavaScript to HTML to PHP?

cabcree

This seems like such a dumb question, but I'm not getting it. Is it possible to pull information from a designated form in HTML that uses Javascript to another form that will post to PHP?

This is the first form:

<form name="quizmodule1" method="get" onsubmit="tester()"> 
<h4>1. Who is UIU accredited with?</h4> 
<input type="radio" checked name="R1" value="V1">Middle States Association<br />
<input type="radio" name="R1" value="V2">Higher Learning Commission<br />
<input type="radio" name="R1" value="V3">Western Association<br /><hr> 
<h4>2. Which learning modalities does UIU utilize?</h4> 
<input type="radio" name="R2" value="V4">Online<br />
<input type="radio" name="R2" value="V5">External Degree<br />
<input type="radio" name="R2" value="V6">Both of those are used<br /><hr> 
<h4>3. UIU wants to encourage lifelong learning from its students.</h4> 
<input type="radio" name="R3" value="V7">True<br />
<input type="radio" name="R3" value="V8">False
<p>&nbsp;</p> <hr> <div align="center"><center>
<p><input type="button" name="score1" value="Get Score" onClick="tester()" /></p> </center></div> </form>

Which works perfectly fine with the javascript code I set up in the document.

But this form calls the php file I need.

<form action="http://www.uiu.edu/eufaculty/facultytraining/mod1quiz.php" method="POST">
<p>Please enter your first name:<br>
<input type="text" name="fname" size="25"></p>
<p>Please enter your last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lname" size="25"></p>
 <p>Which center will or do you primarily teach at?<br />
<select name="center">
<option>Alexandria</option>
<option>Ankeny</option>
<option>Blackhawk</option>
<option>Des Moines</option>
<option>Elkhorn/Racine</option>
<option>Fort Leavenworth</option>
<option>Fort Polk</option>
<option>Fort Riley</option>
<option>Madison</option>
<option>Milwaukee</option>
<option>Prairie du Chien</option>
<option>Waterloo</option>
<option>Wausau</option><br /><br /></select>
</p><input type="hidden" name="score1" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Information" /></form>

I'm not sure positive this works as I have yet to say "congrats" on it. I'm not sure what to do. Can I do a form over a form kind of thing? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

If I understand what you are wanting to do correctly, then you could dome something like ...

onclick submit form1 to JS function tester()
JS function tester() passes variables to hidden form2 fields by using DOM methods
form2 submits to PHP page

being a little raw to all this...that makes sense to a point, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing that.

I've been thinking about this some more...still no real answer, but...

Would this work...? What if I put the JavaScript code (modified, of course) into the same PHP file (mod1quiz.php)? Would it run the answers first then submit the score?

Otherwise, I think I could modify the JavaScript code into its own PHP file, but then how do call it back so that I can enter it into the second form? I don't want to enter the score without a name/center attached to it in the database.

(I just hope that made sense)
