ok. I am not sure if I got the right section but here it goes

I am working on a website which haa two forms (on seperate pages)

what I want to do is have a visitor fill out a form and submit it. PLUS automaticly jump to another page with another form WITHOUT loosing the information submitted by the first page.

for example, complete page 1 and user hits submit. When activated, then page 2 then loads without loosing the data from the first form on page 1. Is there any way to acheive this

This is concerning the form handling process, not the HTML.

Kind of yeh. I'm not too sharp with CGI but basically on your second page you'll want to output the POST variables from the first page either in hidden fields in your form or in a cookie. If your not experienced with cookies then the first would be a lot easier.

Find out which server-side language(s) your server supports and then ask in the appropriate forum. I recommend PHP if it is available to you.
