Insert form results to a hidden field...

Heya, I have a page search.asp with a form in it which has text and list menus.

Text Fields: KeywordSearch
List Menu: CategoryTable
List Menu: Location
Button: Search

When you submit the search button the search.asp page directs to the results.asp page with the search result.

Going back to the search.asp page. I would like to create a second form on the same page which would have 4 hidden text fields.

Hidden Field: KeywordSearch, CategoryTable, Location, UserName.

Is it possible to pass the entered information from the Text Fields and List Menu to the Hidden Fields?

The reason for wanting to do this is so that I can create an Insert Record. When submitting from the search page, the insert record will also submit to a database which will show me what the users are searching for.

You can use Javascript to set the form fields when the user submits the form.

Say for example, your first form is f1 and 2nd form is f2.
<form name="f2" ...
<input type="hidden" name="hidden_keyword" value="" />
....
</form>
<script language="javascript">
function setHiddenFieldValues()
{
document.f2.hidden_keyword.value = document.f1.keyword.value;
....
}
</script>

On submitting your form, you should trigger this function (same as you perform form checks)
