have a tiny questions, related to forms :/

[hmmmmmm]

heya,

this is actually the first time i visit this forum, but i really wanted to make something.. but i kinda ran out of idea's <_<

with html you can 'fill in' forms by just hitting an extern button...
ill give an example.

<form  target='frame1' action="www.site.domain" method="post">
<input type="text" size="3" name="number1"  value=""><br>
<input type="text" size="3" name="number2"  value=""><br>
<input type="text" size="3" name="number3"  value=""><br>
<input type="text" size="3" name="number4"  value=""><br>
<input src='some_image.gif' style='border: 0px none ;' type='image'>fill in form<br>
</form>
 

now.. imagine i have to fill in teh exact same value in all 4 fields... is tehre a way i can cut out the 4 text boxes.. and put in only 1 text box... so the 4 'inputs' will search in this 'shared' text box?

the noob that i am.; i jsut tried:

<form  target='frame1' action="www.site.domain" method="post">
<input type="text" size="3" name="number1" name="number2" name="number3" name="number4"  value=""><br>
<input src='some_image.gif' style='border: 0px none ;' type='image'>fill in form<br>
</form>
 

but ofcoruse.. that will only fill in the 1st value.. and will kinda skip number2, 3 and 4 :(

so.. is there any way i can make 1 text box.. so that all these 'inputs' will first look in that text box, copy the info in it.. and then paste it in the right input ?


also.. i ahve another quetion :/

imagine i have a form, that i want to fill in with teh same idea like above..
BUT.. tehre is 1 text box (on the original site) that has a value already, and this value should be kept :/
if i just leave out this 1 input.. it will fill in nothing, or just a 0 ...and then it will mess up everything :(
imagine the site creates a random number, in 'name=number2' and this number is really important. is tehre any way i can just NOT touch 'number2' but still change the others?

really thank you already :/
i hope this is in the right section... if not.. ill probably never find it again lol :D
if this topic is transferred to somewhere else by accedent.. please be so kind to mail me the link :/ im a real noob :(

thank you already

It is difficult for me to understand your questions, but if you are asking how to copy / paste text from one textbox to another this can be done using JavaScript. HTML does not allow you to do anything programatically as it is a markup language. You can access an HTML document via JavaScript and achieve what I think you are asking. Cheers!
