Help!! Newbie going crazy!

[Angi]

Ok...I'm losing my mind over this!! This should be easy but it's not for me!

I need to carry values from one webpage form to another. I can't use .asp, I
have to use html or dhtml. I've tried going through the VBA help files and i
can't figure it out. I don't know what how to refer to the option button that
was selected.

Here's what I'm trying to do, so if there is an easier way to do it, PLEASE let
me know!

Select item (item# saved)
Select color (item # and color ID now saved)
Order form (info from above is already entered..only personal info
needs to be entered)

Sounds good in theory! Can it be done?? I'm so used to working with If...then
statements, I can't see past my nose! Thanks in advance!!!

Using the javascript like that at
http://www.developer.irt.org/script/15.htm
But in your case:
- repalce the months w/ your items (field name itemNo) and
- add a second option list for your colors (field name colorID)
change the onclick to
onClick="window.location.href = 'nextpage.html?' +
this.form.itemNo.options [this.form.itemNo.selectedIndex].text +
this.form.colorID.options [this.form.colorID.selectedIndex].text"

Then on your second form (nextpage.html) add the same 2 fields itemNo and colorID
and inside the form add the script for the field values

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.formName.itemNo.value = location.search.substring(1);
document.formName.colorID.value = location.search.substring(2);
//--></script>
