[RESOLVED] Java var to hidden form

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 23.2008

Hello,
Im somewhat of a beginner to java so dont expect me to know everything you say to me ? i do work well with html/php.

I have a registration page in which i have a password strength meter, this meter gives of readings of they’re current typed in text in the password field: weak moderate moderate strong

i would like to be able to get the FINAL reading into a hidden form variable so i can validate it via the next page (php). If you know of any snippets that could help me do this that would be great…

…if its any easier maybe i can do something like this, except functional ?

[CODE]while(pwstr!=’strong’)
{
document.form.submitbutton.disable=true;
}
[/CODE]

Thanks alot in advanced!

@FangJul 23.2008 — It's JavaScript not Java. They are 2 different languages.

Invert your logic: the submit button is disabled initially and re-enabled when the password is acceptable.
