Insert form results to a hidden field...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Heya, I have a page search.asp with a form in it which has text and list menus.

Text Fields: KeywordSearch
List Menu: CategoryTable
List Menu: Location
Button: Search

When you submit the search button the search.asp page directs to the results.asp page with the search result.

Going back to the search.asp page. I would like to create a second form on the same page which would have 4 hidden text fields.

Hidden Field: KeywordSearch, CategoryTable, Location, UserName.

Is it possible to pass the entered information from the Text Fields and List Menu to the Hidden Fields?

The reason for wanting to do this is so that I can create an Insert Record. When submitting from the search page, the insert record will also submit to a database which will show me what the users are searching for.

It's 100% possible. My ASP is rusty, so I don't remember the code on how to do it. (If only it was PHP and I would know it right off the top of my head). I'm sure it's just some form of a POST from the last page and you can enter the values from the previous page into the hidden fields.

Ok, so I have a search.asp page which has a form that submits the data to the results page.

In the results.asp page I need to create a form with the 4 hidden text fields.

How do I then get the information to the database?

From there you can just go to another results page and then get the POST information and then in tern add the information to the database using the ADD or UPDATE queries.
