I have never seen this, have no idea what is going on:

<form action='/cgi-bin/Lib.exe' method=POST name='slider' ID='Form2'> <input type='text' name='user' value='' ID='Text1'> <input type='text' name='end' value='' ID='Text2'> </form>  function setval() {        alert(s.getValue());     alert(s2.getValue());     document.slider.user.value = s.getValue();//set value of hidden text box to value of slider     document.slider.end.value = s2.getValue();//set value of hidden text box to value of slider     document.slider.submit(); }

When submitting form from setval(), when I change the name of the first input box from ‘user’ to anything else, my cgi application won’t except it and I get an error? I can change the name of the secons input box to anyting and it doesn’t seem to have any problem? Confused. Thanks!

  1. Seems more like it’s a problem with the cgi than it is with the HTML/Javascript, to me. It probably makes the assumption that a value for ‘user’ will always be sent. Not much else I can tell you without seeing the form-processing code.
