HI all,

i was wondering if any one can help..

i need to get information from the address bar into a HTML page, BUT its also got to be hidden so that the user can see it (ie it is his/hers username and password)

so it should take "login=900&pass=900" from the address bar and stick it in a form, so i get it by email and can see what user submited what.

hope yo can help..

thanks..

Add two hidden fields to your form. The page will automatically update the fields for you.
<form ...>
...
<input type="hidden" name="login">
<input type="hidden" name="pass">
</form>
If for some reason they do not update automatically (maybe I am wrong), add this script in the head and use the body onload event to run it:

<script>
function init() {
if (window.location.search != "")
{srch = window.location.search.substr(1).split("&");
ary = new Array();
for (var i=0; i<srch.length; i++)
{tmp = srch[i].split("=");
ary[tmp[0]] = tmp[1];}
for (var i in ary)
{document.formname[i].value = ary[i];} // fix "formname"
}
</script>
...
<body ... onload="init()">

i cant get round the second one....

do you understand what im trying todo??

i want info from the address bar, ie i have written a CGI script that member processes info and keep them logged in, it shows the username and password (ie..https://secure.co.uk/cgi-bin/member.cgi?page=email&login=900&pass=900)

i want to take

login=900&pass=900

and put it in my form in a hidden field, so that when the user submits, i will get there info in an email including username and password so i know who they!

hope thats more help.

thanks

Just be aware, it will not do a thing for the 13% of users who do not use JavaScript.

Here is a complete working example.

<head>
<title>Loading hidden fields from a query</title>
<script>
function show() {
alert("login = " + document.f1.login.value + "\npass = " + document.f1.pass.value);
}

function init() {
if (window.location.search != "")
{srch = window.location.search.substr(1).split("&");
ary = new Array();
for (var i=0; i<srch.length; i++)
{tmp = srch[i].split("=");
ary[tmp[0]] = tmp[1];}
for (var i in ary)
{document.f1[i].value = ary[i];}
}
show();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">
<form name="f1" onsubmit="return false">
<input type="hidden" name="login" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="pass" value="">
</form>
</body>
