How to exchange data between forms in one document with pure HTML?

am 06.01.2008 21:28:44 von Markus Stein

Is there a possibility to exchange data between
forms in one html document with pure html (no PHP,
no server variables etc.)?

Example:

I want that if I click on the sendformular1 button
the text in field inputformular1 appears in inputformular2
and vice versa.

Is it possible with pure html?

No, but you could do something with javascript. Btw, forms need an
"action" attribute.

I believe that if you leave out action, most browsers will point back
at the page URL. Not good practice though...and that certainly wouldn't
help if it wasn't what you wanted!

The action attribute was optional in HTML 3.2, but has been required on
the form element in all versions since then.

It will not do what OP wishes and that is transfer and process data. You
need scripting for that. HTML is not a scripting language, it doesn't
"do" anything.

Lets say for an example that the form is on a server page and if it
receives either post or get data it will do something with it. If not it
will display the form. That is not an unusual setup.

Note Bergamots post on action being optional in 3.2. Certainly
without a doctype it wouldn't be html 4.

It's all a minor point and I hope I won't regret bringing it up!
