a little HTML/javascript help

[Anon]

this isnt quite php but hey - im sure someone here knows

ok , if ive got two forms :

<FORM name=formA>
<INPUT type=text name=formAdata>
</FORM>

<FORM name=formB>
<INPUT type=text name=formBdata>
</FORM>

and a button somewhere else :

<INPUT type=button onclick="submittheforms()">

i need to submit the data from both forms.

i presume its some javascript cleverness

any help much thanked

why dont you just put it all in one form and have one button? no need for javascript.

not possible im afraid

(im just a programmer not the HTML desginer 😉

anyway ive solved my own problem

create another form with hidden inputs of all the data you want to send

<FORM name="thesecretform" action="/where/u/want/to/go">
<INPUT type=hidden name="data1">
<INPUT type=hidden name="data1">
</FORM>

then the "submit" button calls a javascript function in the onclick event.

the function just takes the values from each of the forms and puts them into the hiden inputs in thesecretform and submits this form

if anyone can think of any better ways....

can i not create a form object in javascript and fill it in there without actually having to create the form in HTML? eg.

thesecretform=new Form();

something like that?
