using java variables outside of script

I've created a survey web with multiple pages. Each page will be submitted
separately and the pages will be connected by way of a unique id number. I
created the id number using a Java script that combines the participant's
remote ip and the date and time. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to
get that variable from the Java script back into Frontpage so I can include
it as a hiddle variable that can be submitted with the rest of the form
variables. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Is this Java or JavaScript? These two are very different and must never be
confused.
Assuming JavaScript.

The variable storing the IPaddress and date should be a global variable,
defined in the <head> of the page
<script type="text/javascript">
var ipDate = "";
// code to set value for ipDate
</script>

This can be set wherever.

In the form :
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"" + ipDate + "\">")
</script>

Correction

In the form :
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ipdte\" value=\"" + ipDate +
"\">")
</script>

This will not work if using the FrontPage extensions for processing the
form.

This will work with FP extensions (and all other form handlers)

Place a hidden field in the form

<inp type="hidden" name="ipdte" value="">

and the following script at the end of the form (just before the </form>
tag.

<script type="text/javascript">
var ipDate;
ipDate = "ipaddress + date" //code to set value for ipAddress and date.
document.forms[0].ipdte.value = ipDate;
</script>

where [0] is the count of the form on the page, starting from 0.

Oh, and yes, I'm using Java Script within the FP document.

Ronx,

Thanks for all the advice. Everything seems to work until I try to post.
Then I get a message HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed. Is there something
else I need to do?

Thanks!
