Thanks for your reply. This is what I'm trying to achieve: - I have a form where a user can select items to order - While still in the form, I use JQuery to provide a preview of the order. The text is displayed in a popup dialog. It is formatted in html. - I want to save this html preview into a hidden field that I retrieved later on once the form has been submitted.
Maybe I need to pass my html text otherwise... Any advise is welcome.
