i am new to frontpage and i dont really have a clue how to transfer text from one text box to another.
i have a text box on my home page and i want users to be able to type text in then press a button then for the text to appear on a text box on the 2nd webpage. is this even possible? i have been working on it for hours and cant work out how to do it
if anyone can help i would appreiciate it
thanks
I doubt that FrontPage has a built-in function for this (I could be wrong).
You'd need a language like PHP to tell the browser to pass the text field value to the next page.

yeah i know i need a language like php. i was just wondering if anyone knew the code i had to type in?
Well, it's a bit more complicated than just "typing in" a bit of code.
I would suggest you post your question in the PHP forum.
Post your current HTML code for each page (in [CODE] tags) and someone may be able to help you out.

Assuming your home page has a form with a method of post, and the name of the text box is say firstName, then if you redirect to page2, inside page2, you could do something like this:
<body>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$firstName=$_POST['firstName'];
}
?>
<input type="text" value="'$firstName'">
</body>
You'll probably have to escape the variable in the input element. I think it would just would be double quote ("), then single quote (')
