A simple javascript question

Hey all,

I have changed this question because the code I pasted before was not readable. I have also pasted this problem at another forum in a desperate attempt to find a solution so if anyone else comes accross this twice I am sorry. Any here is what I mean

I need the result of this drop down menu
[url]www.aboveproductions.com.au/chained.html[/url]

to fill in a variable field on this button
[url]http://www.aboveproductions.com.au/add.html[/url]

the .js files for the two files can be found here

Cheers. ?

@UltimaterApr 10.2005 — Why not start by simplifying your problem so others don't need to read-through all of your JS files!

So when you submit your form, your script factors-down to this:
[code=html]
<form action="add.html">
<select name="site"><option value="submit this result">result1</option><option value="submit this result">result2</option></select>
<input type="submit" value="this would be the add button on the other script">
</form>
[/code]

All you need to do then is make your add.html program read the query string.

@UltimaterApr 10.2005 — You should save my above code in a file called [color=royalblue]chained.html[/color] and create another file in the same folder and call it [color=royalblue]add.html[/color]

Source of add.html :
[code=html]
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var query_string=document.location.search.substr(1)
var InfoArray=query_string.split("&")
var $in=[]
for(var i=0;i<InfoArray.length;i++)
$in[InfoArray[i].split("=")[0]]=unescape(InfoArray[i].split("=")[1].replace(/+/g," "))
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
alert($in["site"])
</script>
[/code]

@robo_neojetsamApr 11.2005 — Ultimater's allways got the answer ?

@EchostormauthorApr 11.2005 — Is it possible to have the generated and interpreted form on the same page? i.e. combining add.html with chained.html. so they are on the same.html page?

@UltimaterApr 11.2005 — [code=html]
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var query_string=document.location.search.substr(1)
var InfoArray=query_string.split("&")
var $in=[]
for(var i=0;i<InfoArray.length;i++)
$in[InfoArray[i].split("=")[0]]=unescape(InfoArray[i].split("=")[1].replace(/+/g," "))
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if(typeof $in["site"]!="undefined")alert($in["site"])
</script>
<form action="chained.html">
<select name="site"><option value="submit this result">result1</option><option value="submit this result">result2</option></select>
<input type="submit" value="this would be the add button on the other script">
</form>
[/code]

@UltimaterApr 11.2005 — You can also make the FORM invisible after the script recieves a query string:
[code=html]
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var query_string=document.location.search.substr(1)
var InfoArray=query_string.split("&")
var $in=[]
for(var i=0;i<InfoArray.length;i++)
$in[InfoArray[i].split("=")[0]]=unescape(InfoArray[i].split("=")[1].replace(/+/g," "))
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if(typeof $in["site"]!="undefined")alert($in["site"])
else{
document.write('<form action="chained.html">');
document.write('<select name="site"><option value="submit this result">result1</option><option value="submit this result">result2</option></select>');
document.write('<input type="submit" value="this would be the add button on the other script">');
document.write('</form>');
}
</script>
[/code]
