Script program string into hidden form fields

Hello,

I have a text box in a Frontpage form. This form has several hidden fields also. This form is submitted to a CGI script. Thus the hidden fields appear, and the text also in the CGI page. However, I would like the hidden fields to use information from the Text Box. How would I put a variable into a hidden field. It is a small Java script program that modifies the string the user inputs.

Here it is: (I get no errors, not sure if its right though)
———————————————–

<SCRIPT language=Javascript>
<!–
function description() {
string = eval(document.order.name.value);
var shaftsize;
var i = 0;
while ( i < name.length() ) {
if ( ( name.charAt(2) + name.charAt(3) ) == 03 )
*****shaftsize = “Shaft Size: 1/2 inch”; ***(this right?)
}
document.submitform.custom2.value=shaftsize;
return custom2;
}
// –>

</SCRIPT>
—————————————————-

The form part is as follows:
—————————————————-

<FORM NAME=order METHOD=POST ACTION=”http://www.————.com/cgi/cart.pl”>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=price VALUE=”121.00″>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=name VALUE=”14XX – 01XX – XXXX” SIZE=25 MAXLENGTH=25>

*******<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=custom2>******

<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=”add” VALUE=”Add To Cart !”>
</FORM>

The custom2 variable is a part of the 14XX-01XX-XXXX string. How do I put that into the form????

Thank you very much,

Patrick
