Anyone willing to help?

I am a Newbee trying to figure out forms and I am so lost. I have the form made up and the pages that the form leads to made up. How do I get them to connect? :confused:

what do you want the form to do with the information that it has collected?

Check out W3Schools: Forms (http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp) on a quick intro to forms in HTML.
Basically, you want to look at the action attribute from the form element:
<form name="myform" action="myformprocessor.asp" method="post">
The action attribute specifies the page that is going to process your form, and the method attribute specifies the way in which the form data is transported; "post" includes the data in the request to the page specified in the action attribute; "get" appends it to the URL.
Which one you want depends on how the target proecesses the form data.

It is a simple check if it applies to you questionare. I have 5 different pages that can be accessed by clicking the button once all of the info is processed. I don't know how to get the form to go to each of those pages when they click the button. I downloaded Namo Web Editor hoping it would help but so far, no luck.

It sounds like you are wanting to do a cascading form meaning you want to split your form up across multiple pages. In that case you will need to store the values for each page as the user go to each additional page until they get to the end and then submit all the collected info.

You have two choices. You can do this with javascript though I wouldn't recommend it. Your other choice would be to use a server-side language to collect the data. PHP would be a good choice. :)

If you don't have the option of using a server-side language such as PHP then you will need to use javascript in which case one of our mods Alex Vincent wrote a tutorial on sending objects and data from page to page:

I read what you gave me. I am still lost. I don't know the jargin and all of that myvalue stuff. Do you have anything for someone who knows absolutely nothing?:rolleyes:

Well if you are able to use a server-side language such as PHP this becomes exponentially easier. Does your host support PHP?
