HTML and complex forms...

Hi there,

I have a page in ASP and HTML which has two forms in it. The first form is used to insert records into a database and was coded by dreamweaver ultradev.

I won't pretend to understand its code, so I made a second form to carry data to the next page using:

<input type ='hidden' Name ='Example' Value ='<%=Example('Example')%>'>

And on the second page:

<%Request.Form('Example')%>

Unfortunately I need to submit the info in the form before it can be used on the following page.

This would normally entain a button, but I already have a button to submit the previous form... What do I do?

I can't merge the info in the second form to the one in the first because it has the form tag:

<form ACTION='<%=MM_editAction%>' METHOD='POST'>

Wheras to move info to the page lead to by the button, I need the tag:

<form action ='page2.asp' Method ='post'>

How on earth do I get around this?

Can I have multiple methods? Can I have two actions?

Perhaps I should put the info from the second table into a text file on the client's machine and then ask for it back when the second page loads. I don't particularly like this method because it relies on the user having cookies enabled, and I like to be able to say 'My website uses no cookies!'.

I could put the aforementioned text file in the server's root folder, and dig it out again, but what happens if two people access it at once?

I could create text files with random generated names, then pull only the correct one on the second page, but I've absolutely no idea how to do that!?!?!

HELP!!

:)
