Hello!
I have a webpage with 3 different forms, each of which “shows itself” (via javascript) under different circumstances. Information is then submitted to my database via php. There’s some information in common to all 3 forms that I’d like to pull off from a select menu and then submit as part of the form; instead of writing my select menu 3 times (which is actually much longer than the one provided), I’m wondering if I can use javascript to pull off the selected response in combination with some sort of “hidden” field on my form to make it work so that when I submit the form, the selected pull-down menu item goes along with the form in question. As an example, using “quasi-code”:
<select name="chapter" id="chapter">
<option value="Linear_Functions">Linear Functions</option>
<option value="Quadratic_functions">Quadratic Functions</option>
</select> //whichever is chosen here I'd like to submit with the form that the person responds to below
<form1 multiple choice type question input stuff>
<form2 free response type question input stuff>
<form3 numeric type question input stuff> //only one of the 3 forms will be seen by the user.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Eric
