Re: Getting the value from a not posted form edit Vield.

You simply CANNOT get an INPUT to go through an <A> tag. If you want to keep the INPUT, you either need to use a SUBMIT or an INPUT TYPE=IMAGE. *OR* you can simply incorporate aFindOnInput into your <A> tag, if it's not something the user can edit: echo "<a href='../PhPScrips/ODiseaseFind.php4?aFindOnInput=", URLEncode($aFindOn), "' target=mainFrame name=disease">Search</A> I'm assuming mainFrame is actually defined somewhere... It's not in the source you posted. Actually, using JavaScript, you *might* be able to use onClick in the <A> tag, and snag the data out of the INPUT, and pass that on... But relying on JavaScript to do that will lose some users. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?

Hi All, Has some one a solution for a non posted field to get the entered information out in to the session variables. My code: 1e The script "adv_search_dis.php4" is to build the input field. <?php echo "<INPUT type='text' name=aFindOnInput value='$aFindOn' size=15 maxlength=15 style='font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black; background: #DFFFFD'></td>"; // Find the diseases via Link echo "<a href='../PhPScrips/0DiseaseFind.php4' target='mainFrame' name='disease'>Search</a></FONT>"; ?> 2e The script "0DiseaseFind.php4" is to get the variable $aFindOnInput from the "adv_search_dis.php4" script in to the session variable and start a new script to build the result found in to the database. <?php $aFinfOn = Getenv($aFindOnInput); $aLetter = $aFinfOn; echo "<FRAMESET rows='50, *' FRAMEBORDER='NO' BORDER='0' FRAMESPACING='0'>"; echo "<FRAME NAME='topFrame' SRC='../PhPScrips/a.php4' FRAMEBORDER='NO' SCROLLING='NO' NORESIZE MARGINHEIGHT='22'>"; echo "<FRAME NAME='abc results' SRC='../PhPScrips/GetLSDNs.php4' FRAMEBORDER='NO' SCROLLING='AUTO' NORESIZE>"; ?> Any help? Yours Hans.
