    Strange form problems

    Hi,

    I have a form that allows you to do search, for each record found it
    populates the form fields with the data from the database and creates
    page sets for next and previous, now for the stange part, when the first
    record appears if i press update the values are passed no problem,
    however if I follow the link to the next record even though the data is
    populated in the fields (and when you view the source the data is there
    in the input fields) when I press submit the data isn't being passed?

    I have no idea as to the reason so I am hoping somebody here may have

    Cheers
    Peter

      Code? Sample? How do you know the data isn't being passed?

          Are you saying you want the data 'update' to be submitted even if you
          click the next record link?

              Thanks for the replies guys, I did sort it, what happened was I passed
              some search criteria across from one page to another this produced a
              paginated set of results which populated form fields, if I submitted the
              form straight away the data was passed ok, if I followed the next link
              however to page two and tried to submit the form it just passed the
              parameters that were used to search on and not what populated the
              fields, what I did in the end was to change the form field names so that
              they differed from the field names used in the original page, I hope
              this makes sense.

              Ray in answer to your question, I used a response.write to show what was
              being submitted.

              Many thanks

                  That is probably the best way ... I don't trust javascript to work
                  much, but if in a controlled environment, you could also use onClick
                  to submit your form when clikcing the next record link ... to make
                  sure the updated record gets submitted ... and keep the next record
                  id, or whatever data in a hidden field.
