I need the contents of a variable available on a confirmation page - How

Hi All

I have some tracking code on the confirmation page and The tracking code has
some javascript variables, one of which needs to be assigned a value of the
clients email address (which is on the form that called the confirmation
page)

I have been told that Frontpage cannot do this ( I know that I can display
the clients email address in a confirmation field) and if not then I will
use a different mail form handler that was suggested to me previously.

Can anyone think of how I can do this simply? Can I save the email address
in a session cookie?? as I submit the form, then read it in when thre
confirmation form opens??? or call the form manually and send the data??
any one have any ideas

cheers

Ed

As long as you are processing the form via the FP Form Handler you can not do this, you would have
to use a custom from handler based on whatever server-side scripting is supported by your web host
to accomplish.

Yes, ASP is server-side scripting. You will still have to write the custom ASP Form Handler to
process the form, etc.

Thanks Thomas

I think a purchase of SEND IT from the Jbots is in order here:)

Send It is a CGI-Perl Script, check with your web host to see if CGI-Perl is supported

I have just checked

yes - They do support CGI-Perl on both Windows and Linux based shared
hosting platforms.


so it is time for some fun:) I hope
