Taking info from one place and putting it in another

@rossiNov 12.2003

HI all,

i was wondering if any one can help..

i need to get information from the address bar into a HTML page, BUT its also got to be hidden so that the user can see it (ie it is his/hers username and password)

so it should take “login=900&pass=900” from the address bar and stick it in a form, so i get it by email and can see what user submited what.

hope yo can help..

thanks..

@gil_davisNov 12.2003 — #Add two hidden fields to your form. The page will automatically update the fields for you.

&lt;form ...&gt;
 ...
 &lt;input type="hidden" name="login"&gt;
 &lt;input type="hidden" name="pass"&gt;
 &lt;/form&gt;

If for some reason they do not update automatically (maybe I am wrong), add this script in the head and use the body onload event to run it:

<i>
 </i>&lt;script&gt;
 function init() {
 if (window.location.search != "")
 {srch = window.location.search.substr(1).split("&amp;");
 ary = new Array();
 for (var i=0; i&lt;srch.length; i++)
 {tmp = srch[i].split("=");
 ary[tmp[0]] = tmp[1];}
 for (var i in ary)
 {document.formname[i].value = ary[i];} // fix "formname"
 }
 &lt;/script&gt;
 ...
 &lt;body ... onload="init()"&gt;

@rossiauthorNov 12.2003 — #the first one you gave me doesnt work!

ill try the second option.

thanks

@rossiauthorNov 12.2003 — #i cant get round the second one....

do you understand what im trying todo??

i want info from the address bar, ie i have written a CGI script that member processes info and keep them logged in, it shows the username and password (ie..https://secure.co.uk/cgi-bin/member.cgi?page=email&login=900&pass=900)

i want to take

login=900&pass=900[/QUOTE]

and put it in my form in a hidden field, so that when the user submits, i will get there info in an email including username and password so i know who they!

hope thats more help.

thanks

ross

 &lt;script&gt;
 function show() {
