Are you looking for something like this...

<input type="submit" onSubmit="test()">

and in you <head>

<script type="text/javascript">
function test()
{
alert("testing");
}
</script>

No, sir. A form submission string looks something like:

http://www.site.com/file.jsp?firstfield=one&secondfield=two&thirdfield=three

I simply need to view an alert window with this information before actual submission.

Something like:

seeit = document.formName.value;
alert(seeit);

but 'value' is not the right word.

I can see what you mean. I can think of one way to do it, but it would not be easy...and I'm not sure how well (bug-free) it would work. :(

Darn! So I guess this means I there isn't a path like document.formName.value to get the forms entire value like you can get the value of a field by document.formName.fieldName.value? If not, I can loop through the elements to do the functionality, but that won't work for what I am doing. If it is true that a 'document.formName.value' approach isn't included in JavaScript, then I will have to forget this attempt. Its just for testing purposes anyway.
