read the value of that hidden variable. it works like a charm -- and
I can use that to do other things as well in other code.

Thank you four your help and interest.

My main problem with that solution:
If in the single form solution I gave javascript doesn't kick in/is
disabled, everything can work as planned, only in the same window instead
of a new one.

In the 2 form solution, if javascript is disabled, you'll get a new window
with an error, because is lacks data.

Re: Two forms

For the time being, what I will do is test on a particular variable and if
it is not set, then I will header to an error page where I will display a
message that Javascript must be enabled. Long term, I'll make your solution
work.
