Confirm box with Perl

[Tejay]

How can I send the response of a confirm box back to the Perl script?? Example of my problem: In the form, the user tries to get a service for senior citizens, but the perl script knows that the user is only 25. I want to pop up a warning like "This service is for users 60 and over. Do you wish to proceed?". If they choose 'ok', how can I tell the perl script that the user wants to by pass this message and don't display it again. Since the user's age will not change, if I had a if statement in the script that will display this message when the user is under 60, unless I can tell it the response from the confirm box, it will display the message over and over. Any idea?? Thanks in advance.

You are going to have to save the response to the question somewhere that your perl script can read. There are at least 3 ways that you might be able to use (but I can't tell you which without knowing your code)

1) write a hidden field using document.write ("<input type='hidden' name='passthru' value='Y'>") etc

2) use cookies to save the response

3) somehow add the response to the query string and read it back in your perl script
