Last minute post values

[Geat]

Right, I'm submitting a series of values from a form via the post method. Is there a way that I can add an extra variable and value into the list from the onclick() method of the submit button?

Basically, I've got a hidden input that's set at the current page's ID so that when the user selects options the PHP reloads the page in various states.

However, when the user clicks "submit", I wish this value to point to the next page, not the current one.

I appreciate that I could get a hold of the hidden input and change the value, but I'd like to do it (for simplicity) another way...

It seems like you want to chagne the hidden inputs value when a user clicks on submit button?
document.formName.fieldName.value = "whatever new value you want"

I have a feeling that you already know that..

Yeah, that's my last resort. It would be nice if there was a clean way of sticking the value in the parameters another way...

I don't understand what is a "clean way" for you,but I think you have get value from the input either before its popluated or after to make changes to it.

I like low-level nitty-gritty, you know, actually grab the values just before they leave the page and change them there, as opposed to before they are submitted for posting.

But I'll use your way...
