How to set up numbers for form submissions.

Each form needs a separate number

[Lorel]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a way to number submissions for a contest sent up in a form so that when the owner of the site receives the submissions they will each have a separate number?

If the details are going into a database, just use the uniqueID.

If their being sent via email, use a datetime stamp (so identifier is month:day:hour:minute:second:milisecond, depending how unique it needs to be.)

No database, just email form. Using a date is a good idea! Thanks,

Can you tell me how I can set this up? I can't find this in my HTML book.

Check for javascript date/time stamps and use this value to set a "hidden" field in the form.

good luck!
