Javascript to include field on next form

[irkland]

Bear with me because I don't even know how to ask this, but...

I've got a short form--1 field and a submit button. I want someone to
enter their name in that field, hit submit, and have their name be in
the "name" field on the next page (which contains a form). Am I even
in the right forum?

Thanks so much for your help.

For you to be in the right or wrong (Web) forum would require this _public
Usenet newsgroup_ to be a (Web) forum instead. (You are using but a Google
mirror/archive of it.)

However, whether or not your question is off-topic here depends on how you
want to generate the "next page": using client-side J(ava)Script/ECMAScript
for this would be unwise, as that would not degrade gracefully; using
server-side J(ava)Script would be possible.

I just don't get it. Why don't you just *refrain from posting* if you are
not even sure that the information you provide is up-to-date or accurate?
Nothing can be gained by people like you making noise here with their
smattering, if that.
