Hi Nik...
Actually, this is in Director, not in HTML... that's where the "multi-page"
problem comes in...
Basically, it goes like this... I've developed a presentation for
distribution on CD. The screen size is limited to 800x600. Part of the
presentation is an application, which the user fills out and it gets passed
to a CGI script on our web server that populates it into a database. The CGI
part works...
Director includes several built-in Lingo scripts in Library > Internet >
Forms, among them "Form Post - Field" and "Form Post - Submit Button". These
work (ok, the "submit" button does the real work) by using the PostNetText
command. You drag these onto objects (fields for the "Field" one, and any
sprite for the "Submit" one), tell the "Submit" button the URL of the script
you want to POST to, and that's (supposed to be) that.
My problem arises in that my form is too long for one "page" within my
Director score, meaning all the items won't fit on the 800x600 screen at
once.
Sorry for any misdirection I may have caused with my previous message...
hopefully this'll clear thing up a bit?
Thanks!
-Ian

Hi Ian,
are you talkingabout html pages?
maybe you can try coding your multiple pages as
one page with multple layers awitching from layer
to layer (visible / hidden) as you go from page to
page. you collect all your data in only one
form and post it all with one submitt button
visible only on the last layer.
let me know if that helps, or if i completely
misunderstood something here..
