Populating form field with title/url

[JoyDee]

Ok. I give up. I've searched this site, the web, and my books, but I just
cannot figure this seemingly simple thing out. I want to populate a hidden
field in a form with the title of the page. Can you point me to the right
syntax?

Hi,
stick a field on the page
<form......
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="">
</form>
and then below the script to populate it
<script type="text/javascript">
document.forms[0].title.value=document.title;
</script>

I'm trying to imagine why you'd do this? It's not like the form migrates
from page to page, couldn't you (op) just put the page title in a hidden
field?

curious.

The only reason I can think of is this code can be used on several pages
without change. I assumed the guy would know how to do
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="The title of this page">
So he wanted a script solution.

I just answer the questions, not try to analyse them ;-)

The form could be on a page that is being included in other pages.

Actually, I'm experimenting with a new project. Using Contribute, I'd like
to enable other people in the organization to post customer-related documents
along with a form that emails back a response (approve/disapprove). I need
the form results to identify what documents are being approved. The easiest
way to do this (without using a database or Sharepoint, which for several
reasons would not be feasible in this particular effort) would be to use this
form in a template, the page being saved to a unique name, and that unique
name be included in the hidden field.

This script worked for me beautifully - except I'm used to Frontpage and
Contribute really works well with Dreamweaver. Both of which I have. Now, I
need to figure out forms in Dreamweaver.

The only reason I can think of is this code can be used on several pages
without change. I assumed the guy would know how to do
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="The title of this page">
