How to bring data from one page to another?

[sabas]

I got a web page where users can type in their email address (or something), when they click on Next button to go to another page their email address will be displayed on the new page. Could anybody show me how to do that?

I wonder if Javascritp can do that or I have to resort to PHP, CGI or something?

thanks,

sabas

you can do this in javascript... and what you have to do is store the information first

Err..., how? Could you specify your solution?

If all you want to do is to put a value (e-mail address in this case) onto another page, you can do this in JavaScript.

<input type="text" id="email">
<br><input type="button" onclick="document.write(email.value+'<iframe src=\yourpage.htm'\'></iframe>')" value="Submit">

Well that script is written by me and if you need any help with it I can.

You can do it in Javascript, but it's unreliable and quite cumbersome. A server-side script would be much easier.

yeah, good information, Shachi. I'll work around on it but I'm just afraid users disable Javascript so it turns out Javascript is not a good solution. PHP is alternative?

mburt, thanks for your code. I'll give it a try.

Thanks guys,
