Brian Sorry, i'm not experienced enough to know exactly what you are recommending.
Any chance you could take a look at my page source? Everything is there. This version on this page... http://www.eastexhaust.com/inventory_.php ...attempts to set the value of the part number in the second form by grabbing the text of the span in the first form. I'm using this code... (which triggers when you submit the first form -- the one that gets the part number) <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("#partnumber").click(function(){ $('#partnum').val ( $('#myspan').text() ); }); }); </script> ...to attempt to do that. If I replace val ( $('#myspan').text() ); with something like val ( $('static text'); it works. So I'm assuming there's a problem getting the #myspan variable. If you want to see how it works without jquery -- in works on FF but not IE -- you can take a look and try it at this page... http://www.eastexhaust.com/inventory_1.php I've been trying to resolve this for 2 weeks so any help would be most appreciated!
