[Proto-Scripty] Re: grabbing form values from multiple pages.
Walter, I am using a testing server currently, and it is Apache. I checked with our Internet Provider before I started with php and they told me the site would be hosted on a Unix Server... that is all I know for now. I can try to find more info if I need to.

Hi sqaured, It seems, that you only transmit the value of the previous form to the DB, and for the third form to be generated, you need to pass first AND second one ! So this could be done in a couple of lines (I think). Give us your code, or a sample, we will surelly help. -- david On 2 fév, 19:00, Squared jpr...@hancousa.com wrote: The abbreviated question: How do I pass the value of a list item on page 1 AND page 2 to a third page so I can use the values in php and mySQL?

Seeing as your using AJAX, why even bother with more than one page. You can do everything on one page.

Sorry, just tried this and realized that it won't work as written
(getInputs only finds input tags, as you'd expect, not selects). Try
this:
var element=$$('#your_form select').find(function(elm){

Walter,
I could not get this to work, but, to be honest; I could have
something else wrong, because I am not certain how this new approach
is working exactly. (I am new to prototype AJAX). I don’t quite
understand, or I am not following the logic.. Are we still using
multiple pages? Is there even a way to dumb this down a bit for me or
should I just concede that this is over my head??? I would really like
to figure this out if possible, but I don’t want someone to write
everything for me either.

Here's a local example that works in Firefox. http://pastie.org/379612 Save those three files somewhere and try it out. Here's an example that works with a server call (not tested): http://pastie.org/379637 I don't believe this will work in IE, you can't update the inner bits of a select and have it work like a form element afterward. For that, you will need to use the new Option(text,value) syntax inside a loop.
