in reply to An interesting form question

I do have access to Sybase databases actually and your joining solution was something I envisaged at first. Complicated but a good fix I think. Thanks for the help, though like Odud says, it might not be perl-ish enough to interest most :P

I don't quite understand how you would do the second way in Perl, do you think you could elaborate a little?

This little task is due tomorrow morn so I'm a little buggered if I don't deliver :P

The page has a lot of drop down menus, perhaps this is causing the problems?

    I meant you could send all the form 1 data to form two, via a script that writes the second form. So if i have an entry on the first form like so:
    <input type="text" name="nick_name" size="10">

    [download]

    Once the first form is submitted, the script writes the name and value of this entry to the second form: 
    <input type="hidden" name="nick_name" value="ar0n">

    [download]

    And of course you'll have the second part of the form on page two as well.
