dynamically populate textarea from first webform

I have 2 webforms, can one form with checkboxes populate a textarea on the second webform with the names of the checkboxes selected?

Hi there superbarbs,

and a warm welcome to these forums.

try it like this...

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script type="text/javascript">

window.onload=function() {
   df=document.forms;
   inp=df[0].getElementsByTagName('input');
for(c=0;c<inp.length;c++) {
if(inp[c].type=='checkbox') {
   inp[c].onclick=function() {
if(this.checked==true){
   df[1][0].value+=this.name+' ';
}
else {
   df[1][0].value=df[1][0].value.replace(this.name+' ','');
     }
    }
   }
  }
 }

</script>

</head>
<body>

<form action="#">
 <div>
   <input type="checkbox" name="foo"/>
   <input type="checkbox" name="blah"/>
   <input type="checkbox" name="dodah"/>
 </div>
</form>

<form action="#">
 <div>
   <textarea cols="20" rows="3"></textarea>
 </div>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Hi CootHead,
This is a very interesting script. If I want to send the selected info in the text area to an email address, how do i add the "send" button to the script?

JavaScript can't send email (from Client-side). But you can use JavaScript(Client-side) and Server-side (ASP or PHP) to send information.
