I have a form that generates a part number based upon a series of selection boxes.
http://brinsterinc.com/east/inventory_test.php
I want to pass the part number as a hidden field in a second form that I am going to add to the page. That form will email the part number along with name, email address, etc.
How can I access the part number?
The code that displays the part number is...
<span name="myspan" id="myspan" style="border:1px solid #000000; padding:2px;"></span>
and the ajax script is...
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var http_request = false;
function makePOSTRequest(url, parameters) {
http_request = false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Mozilla, Safari,...
http_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (http_request.overrideMimeType) {
// set type accordingly to anticipated content type
//http_request.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
http_request.overrideMimeType('text/html');
}
} else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE
try {
http_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
try {
http_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {}
}
}
if (!http_request) {
alert('Cannot create XMLHTTP instance');
return false;
}
http_request.onreadystatechange = alertContents;
http_request.open('POST', url, true);
http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-length", parameters.length);
http_request.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
http_request.send(parameters);
}
function alertContents() {
if (http_request.readyState == 4) {
if (http_request.status == 200) {
//alert(http_request.responseText);
result = http_request.responseText;
document.getElementById('myspan').innerHTML = result;
} else {
alert('There was a problem with the request.');
}
}
}
function get(obj) {
var poststr = "s=" + document.getElementById("s").value + "&it=" + document.getElementById("it").value + "&id=" + document.getElementById("id").value + "&ot=" + document.getElementById("ot").value + "&od=" + document.getElementById("od").value + "&l=" + document.getElementById("l").value ;makePOSTRequest('post.php', poststr);
}
</script>
