Re: Submit Button

Others have answered the question already about using an image button for submitting data. I think the other part of your question (same info to appear on next form), assuming that you've already gotten this data once prior to displaying form 1, is to use hidden fields in the form to transfer it. For example:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="name" VALUE="John Q. Smith">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="address" VALUE="1600 Pennsylvia Avenue">
[download]

They will not be visible to the typical user (though they are visible in the source), and you can access these as if they were text fields in the second CGI script you have.

Alternatively, set one hidden field or cookie with a unique identifier and maintain the information on the server. I also need to correct Masem's post, since we now know: `<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="name" VALUE="George W. Bush"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="address" VALUE="1600 Pennsylvia Avenue">` [download] :-)	[reply] [d/l]
