Want to grab Page Title and include in form when submitted

[johnbob2010]

Is it possible to grab something off a given web page (like page title) and send that along with the form when they click submit? I guess the question is - can I variablize the page title and then pull that variable into the form when submitting? I am using bnbform.cgi on my web host.

The page title can be accessed with a simple reference to "document.title". Then you would set the value of a hidden form field to the value of this variable.

you can try this

<form action="whatever" method="get"  name="myform" onsubmit="this.action = replace_space('whatever?pagetitle=' + document.title)">
 
function remove_space() \\will replace space will replace all space in the created string with  + 
{ //it will return the string where all spaces is replaced by +
 ...
 ...
} //dont know the code for rpaceing
 

but you I am not sure whether it would work or not if title hold different character like Japanese or Chinese font

My method would look like this:

<form onsubmit="addTitle();">
<input type="hidden" name="title">
<input type="text" name="otherInfo" value="type something here...">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addTitle()
{
document.forms[0].title.value = document.title;
}
</script>

I don't actually think you need to format spaces as they'll be converted to unicode by the browser so will look like this: %20
