Hi,
A little trick I did to get the text from a textbox in a form
( for user comments ) without the user having to submit it was to
use javascript to append the textbox contents to a url ( GET METHOD )
when the user clicked on a link, which pointed to a redirect script
which extracted the textbox contents then redirected the user to the
link requested. Hopefull this will give you some ideas.
[page.html]
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function modifyurl (theurl,textvar,thepagename) {
// do validation here on textvar, textvalue, etc. then proceed
with:
theurl.href="redirect_script.php?requestedpage=" + thepagename +
"&textvalue=" + escape(textvar);
}
// -->
</script>
<form name="thetextform" onSubmit="return false;">
<input type="text" name="textvariable" size=30 maxlength=45>
</form>
<a href="/another_page.html" onClick="modifyurl(this,
thetextform.textvariable.value, 'another_page')">
[redirect_script.php]
...and here on the redirect page I would do validation of the
variables/form_contents etc.,
insert it into a db, and then redirect:
<?
switch ($requestedpage) {
case "another_page":
Header("Location: http://www.site.com/path/to/another_page.html";);
//Redirect browser
break;
case ...
}
Cheers,
Bruce
