Multiple Forms

[kreut]

Hello!

 

I've got several forms on one page that use the same variable names for input values.  (Say, form1, form2, and form3).  I'm using javascript to show only one of the forms based on a selection (say British, American, Canadian).  How can I write  code which will tell the page to ONLY look at the variables from a particular form when I hit the submit button for one of the forms?

 

Thanks so much....

You only receive the data/variables from the form that was submitted.

Yep, if you had say:

 

<form action="somepage.php" method="post">
   <input type="text" name="english_somthing" />
   <input type="submit" name="submit_english" />
</form>

<form action="somepage.php" method="post">
   <input type="text" name="spanish_somthing" />
   <input type="submit" name="submit_spanish" />
</form>

 

If you were to press submit one the English form, only the input from that form, not the Spanish, would be passed.
