Suppressing null form fields on confirmation page

[pete]

Hello All -

Any tricks or tips to modify the confirmation field
advanced control so that only form fields with non null
values are displayed on the confirmation page? I have
spent some time trying to accomplish this with
javascript, but do not believe that variable values
declared and loaded in one page (e.g. form page) can be
passed and read in another page (e.g. confirmation page).

At this point, I am not storing form results in a
database but am wondering if that is my only option,
thereby allowing me to access the record from the
confirmation page and then employing script logic.

Thanks for any assistance!

For that level of control over a confirmation page, you
would have to write a custom form handler in ASP or
ASP.NET. You would write the code to send the mail,
update the file, or update the database, and you would
write the code that sends the confirmation back to the
Web visitor.
