Hi

I have a user input html page with multiple forms because the javascript won't work with one form or sub froms. My aim is to get the input data to a php script and I think the way to do that is have a final form in the html which posts all the input.

Problem, how do I get the input values from other forms into the final 'submit' from?  (don't remember where I got the syntax that I've commented out but it doesn't work anyway).  ???

Many thanks if you can help.

becasue the javascript wont work! Well not for me but if anyone would like to tell me how to make it work on one form that would be great too.

The javascript for selecting output type is fine in one form but the "select all" button javascript requires an object called document.buttonDemo which I've difened in the form tag  <form method="post" name="buttonDemo">

So is there a way to defiine document.buttonDemo without using a form tag ?

No solution but I've got to get on so I changed the button to a check box which means I can work the javascript in one form.

}
function clearAll(){
  for (i=0; i<document.forms[0].length; i++)
      if(document.forms[0].elements[i].name=="org[]") document.forms[0].elements[i].checked = false
