html php 3 submit button to pass values to 3 different pages


phpbeginer

Recommended Posts

I have a page that contains a List box containing a list of categories taken from a mysql database, 4 iframe elements and 4 submit button (code to follow)

When an item is selected from the List box the onchange event submits the page to jobs.php and loads it into the joblist iframe. Once the iframe is loaded and visible it makes the "Add Job To Category" submit button visible. This all works great

When I click the "Add Job To Category" Submit button it loads Jobnew.php into the jobed iframe this is working but I can not seem to figure out how to pass the selected item from the List box using this submit button

I hope I am clear in my question if not please advise any help is very much appreciated....

Jobtask.php

Is never a need to iframe content from your own website.

You have no control with iframes, the same amount someone else does if iframed it.

If you want dynamic content like you say use ajax or jquery.

 

Instead of iframes and 4 submits, you should have one form with one submit.

Check the post parameters and handle the data for output as needed.(like include a script)
