how do i pass control(text field) values from one html to other using hidden variables.

[prabodhtiwari]

function submitPartsForm (str) {

var count=document. getElementsByNa me("partId");
for(var i=0;i<count.len gth;i++)
{

document.mylist .myNum[i].value= document.getEle mentsByName("pa rtNum")
(i).value;

}

document.forms["mylist"].submit();
}
myNum[] is a hidden variable and partNum is the name of a text field
that has many instances i mean there are many textfields with the same
name so it forms a column in a data table.

Why not give each each textfield a unique name?
I cannot think of one good reason...

Try naming them as follows:
<input name="partnum[]" ...>
In PHP, these are automatically converted into an array inside your
protocol-dependent superglobal (_GET or _POST), so you can use them at
will, although, if this is a static html, why not really give them all
unique names, as Erwin suggested.

One way would be to join the text values together using a join character
unlikely to appear in the texts, like so:

function submitPartsForm () {
var theNodeList = document.getEle mentsByName("pa rtId");
var theNodeValues = document.forms["myList"].elements["theNodeVal ues"];
if(theNodeList& &theNodeValu es) {
for (var i=0;i<theNodeLi st.length;i++) {
if (theNodeList[i].value) {
theNodeValues.v alue += ("|" + theNodeList[i].value.toString ());
}
}
document.forms["myList"].submit();
}
}

(Above script assumes the form has a hidden input (not disabled), named
"theNodeValues" .)

Then in your server-side script you can use whatever method your language
uses to split the string into parts using the "|" as a split character.
Usually this results in an array.
