    Problem

    Hello
    I've got: file 'name.html', where are:

    <BODY>
    <center>
    <form type=get action="to.html ">
    <table border=1>
    <tr>
    <td>First Name:</td><td><input type=text name=firstname size=10></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Last Name:</td><td><input type=text name=lastname size=10></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Age:</td><td><input type=text name=age size=3></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td colspan=2><inpu t type=submit value="Submit!" >
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </form>
    </center>
    </body>

    in the secound file 'name1.html':

    <html>
    <HEAD>

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">

    <!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
    <!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

    <!-- Begin
    function getParams() {
    var idx = document.URL.in dexOf('?');
    var params = new Array();
    if (idx != -1) {
    var pairs = document.URL.su bstring(idx+1, document.URL.le ngth).split('&' );
    for (var i=0; i<pairs.length ; i++) {
    nameVal = pairs[i].split('=');
    params[nameVal[0]] = nameVal[1];
    }
    }
    return params;
    }
    params = getParams();
    // End -->
    </script>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">

    <!-- Begin
    firstname = unescape(params["firstname"]);
    lastname = unescape(params["lastname"]);
    age = unescape(params["age"]);

    document.write( "firstname = " + firstname + "<br>");
    document.write( "lastname = " + lastname + "<br>");
    document.write( "age = " + age + "<br>");
    // End -->
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    When I start my scripts and give values, in name1.html there is text:
    undefined. Why? What's wrong?

      This element is deprecated. You should catch up with the times and use
      Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation. See the
      comp.infosystem s.www.authoring.stylesheets newsgroup for help with CSS. Be
      sure to read the FAQ before posting, though.

      This is your problem. The FORM element does not have a type attribute.
      What you actually want is the method attribute. Also, you use to.html as
      the destination, but you refer to name1.html below. Try:

      <form action="name1.h tml" method="get">

      Had you validated your HTML (see <URL:http://validator.w3.or g/>), you
      would have noticed this.

      Valid HTML requires the type attribute. This attribute renders the
      deprecated language attribute obsolete.

      <script type="text/javascript">

      > <!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

      Hiding script data with SGML comment delimiters is an out-dated practice
      that should have disappears years ago. All browsers in use understand the
      SCRIPT element, even if they don't execute scripts.

      I really don't like how that's written, but I don't really have time to
      change it now. Hopefully, someone else will.

      This should go, too.

      Same comments regarding obsolesence apply here, too.

              ....err. Did you try it as?

              <form action="to.html " method="get">

              [ Failing that, try flogging it with
              a whip, it might just be lazy. ;-) ]
