server-side directives with .shtml form

can I pass a form variable to another form in .shtml

[lleemon]

I am trying to find out if by using 2 pages (.shtml) if the first has a form and you enter text if you can display just a certain field value into the 2nd page form value with server-side directives. I see they have the QUERY_STRING option but I couldn't get it to work with a certain text box, say txtName

<!--#echo var="QUERY_STRING"-->

Thanks for any advice.

Unfortunately I'm not an expert on using SSI in this way - server-side includes are pretty limited compared to fully-fledged scrpting languages such as PHP.

What gets echoed when you use the above include? Have you tried the Apache documentation [httpd.apache.org]?
