Hi all,

I have a potentially simple question...

I need to keep the value of a field between form posts?
I was thinking of using the equivalent of Request.Form("Field1") in
javascript to set the value of the field on the body onload event? is
this possible in javascript?
Is there are simple way to do this? 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sergio.

You cannot post to a static HTML page so there should be some 
server-side page processing your post data which could then create the 
script for the client with the right objects.
Client-side JavaScript on the receiving page itself has no access to 
post data.
With the GET method you can read out and parse
   location.search

There is no equivalent to Request.Form in client-side javascript.

Sure. Use the URL. Use GET to pass the form, then parse the URL to get 
the value(s) as needed.
