There are two basic approaches to this. Either you store state on the server or on the client. It is simplest to store state on the client by having the first script generate a form that includes values from the first form as hidden fields. If the information is sensitive you should be careful about this- you could wind up caching the information on the client (you can use a no-cache pragma, but there isn't a guarantee that all user-agents will respect it) and if a user leaves a machine unattended someone could see the information by viewing the source of the page. You can also store state in a cookie (which has a number of problems), or store it in some fashion on the server, although this requires some sort of session tracking (so the second script knows whose information to use). Btw, are you subscribed to beginners-cgi? It is specifically for cgi (in Perl). Tagore Smith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
