I want to set up an easy way for people to make forms that
reside on more than one page, eg for use in Comercial
Catalogues which are being used as order forms. I have seen
this done, but it uses a very complicated system of CGIs on
the host. Could an easier method be setup? I think a tag
like the one below might work.
On each page's form tag you have :
<form name="example">
This would make the browser store all the information from
forms with the same name (ie "example") in memory.
On the final form where you have the submit button, you
have :
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="button text" formname="example">
This would submit all data from all the "example" forms
to the server.
Could it be made to work? It would certainly make
page writers lives easier!
