hi! this problem is really bothering me and hopefully you guys could help me out with it.

i have a form that after the user inputs the information, the information gets sent to an email address. i used FormMail.pl to accomplish this and i'm having no problems.

My boss wants me to implement a preview function on the form so before it gets sent, the user will be able to see and confirm whatever he/she typed in the form. If he/she sees any problem, i could just send her back to the form so he/she could fix it. My problem is how get a preview function on my form. i am thinking of having a preview button on the form that would link them to another page listing whatever they wrote but i don't know the coding for this. i could do a javascript function but i don't know how to take the information in the form and display it in the preview page.

i saw some codes that has this feature and some of them have "webbot action" in their coding. i don't know if this would solve my problem.

Any help on this would greatly be appreciated:)

Well, general server side scripting, anyway; seems about the only way to tackle such a thing.
