Im needing to write a script that will take form entries from an onsubmit() request then return them to another field as one list.
I'm ok with most of this but as i'm going to dynamically write the script using PHP i will need to check if the fields (names 1,2,3,4,5 and so on) to see if the field contains any data and if it does it needs to be added to a new variable preceeded by a comma.
I hope this makes sense!
something along these lines:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkForm(frm) {
msg = "";
if (frm.field1.value != "") {
msg += frm.field1.value+", ";
}
if (frm.field2.value != "") {
msg += frm.field2.value+", ";
}
frm.field3.value = msg.substr(0, msg.length-2);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" onsubmit="checkForm(this);">
<input type="text" name="field1">
<input type="text" name="field2">
<input type="text" name="field3">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Ouch,
...first, what you gonna do with a form that has 50 fields ???
...second, your empty test will fail when a space is entered...
here is what you wanna do:
function form2String(formName)
{ forms = document.getElementsByTagName('form');
if(forms[formName]) var form = forms[formName];
else return null;
var fstr='';
var empty=/^\s*$/;
for(i=0; i<form.elements.length; i++)
if(!empty.test(form.elements[i].value))
fstr+= i>0?', ':'' + form.elements[i].value;
return fstr;
}

The meaning of life is simple-
var Food = 1000000;
var Wise = false;
var die = false;
while(Food > 0)
{
if(!Wise){
Food--;
}
else{
die = true;
}
}
die = true;
