Can this be done using cookies & JS only?
I need to do the following:
1. User lands on index.htm - Enters name & some details into a form.
2. User submits form and goes onto nextPage.htm (redirect using FormMail.cgi).
3. When they are on nextPage.htm I need to then write the details they entered in the form on the index page to this page.
Can I do this using cookies? If so does anyone know of some example code for both pages anywhere?
If not what about php or cgi (I have no knowledge of either). Examples anywhere?
Many, many thanks in advance
