HTML Form Question

[leochan861]

<form action="orderreceived_1.shtml"
method="post" onsubmit="return checkform()">

<input type="text" id="address" />

This form is to send the inputted address to the "orderreceived_1.shtml". But what are the codes in the "orderreceived_1.shtml" in order to show the data which I inputted at the previous page??

[HTML]

It needs to be a script to process the data. You will have to search around for a script to do what you want.

Javascript?? Can you explain more on it or give some examples?? Thank you very much for your help.

[HTML]

All a form does is post info to some sort of script

<form action="orderreceived_1.shtml"

tells it to post to the script at the above file, you have no such file obviously.
So, you must figure out what your needs are, what functions do you need. This will tell you if a client side script like js will work or if you need something with the security of a server side script like php or asp. You will also need to know what you can run on your particular server.

I don't know how to pass a value from a html to another html. "orderreceived_1.shtml' is created by me, but i don't know how to show out the value. no security is needed. Can html do this thing?

[HTML]

HTML is a markup language. Again, unless I know your needs I cannot guide you toward the proper script.

[orderreceived_1.shtml]

This is just a prototype page to show an example of the message a user would see when they have
used the order form to place an order. Provide an example of the following submitted details
• The item details: Item name, code, colour, price etc,

[leochan861]

<form action="orderreceived_1.shtml" 
method="post" onsubmit="return validateform()">

<tr>
<td>Quantity of items:</td>
<td><input type="text" id="quantity" name="quantity" /></td></tr>

<div>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</div>
</form>

What I am writing is to pass the input value to the orderreceived.shtml, but is seems that the orderreceived.shtml can not show the value
