Re: Passing vars

Yes.. the problem with the hidden method.. is the following. Let says I use the string "Testing the \"waters\" " Now.. if I do a <input type=hidden value="<?echo $var?>"> the qoutes in my string do not escape correctly. So when you look at the source in netscape.. it ends the string at \ ... just before the first qoute. So.. is there any other way besides those two methods? Can I pass a object through the URL? -Tanya On Wed, 14 Feb 2001, Maureen wrote: > I may be totally wrong or missing something, (if so, someone please let > me know) but ... > > 1.
