Passing token in form submit

[JitseSchaafsma]

I wonder is it possible to pass a token in a form submit.

What i mean is this sample code:

<FORM name="myform" action="http://10.0.1.2/FMPro" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="-DB" value="medewerkers.fp5">

<input type="hidden" name="-Lay" value="L1">

<input type="hidden" name="-Format" value="check.htm">

<input type="hidden" name="-Error" value="retry.htm">

<input type="hidden" name="-Token.0" value=[FMP-Field:Naam]>

Gebruikersnaam:<input type="text" name="Naam" Value="MensoMolag"><BR>

Wachtwoord:<input type="text" name="Wachtwoord" Value="Menso"><BR>

<input type="submit" name="-Find">

<input type="button" value="enter" onclick="inloggen()">

Through this form the user enters data into the field Naam

Now i want to have this data directly copied into a Token.0.

is this possible (the sample code does not work)

Thanks for any suggestions

<input type="hidden" name="-Token.0" value=[FMP-Field:Naam]>

it is "attempting" to set the token = to field.

What you need is to set the token = field before it reaches this form. On your posted page then you would use

<input type="hidden" name="-Token.0" value=[FMP-CurrentToken:0]>

now go get lucky

"What you need is to set the token = field before it reaches this form."

But since you are relying upon the client to enter this information in the form, then you need to consider the possibility of using a META Refresh between your form.htm and your check.htm as the place to capture/define the token.

"But since you are relying upon the client to enter this information in the form, "

not really...you can always use inline action and set the token=field_name and then "insert" that token into a hidden field of a form that is Sure to pass it since the user will not be entering the token information

good luck_

I was basing my response on the original query which said, "Through this form the user enters data into the field Naam...". With that in mind I did not presume to redesign the solution but to suggest a way to make the solution work based on the desired use of the form.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Indeed i have now used inline action on a new page.

So what happens is this

1] user submits the form

2] If information is correct then enters a new page with appropriate inline code to set the tokens

3] Then automaticly the user is forwarded to another page.

This solution has a disadvantage that an additional page has to be processed only for filling the tokens.

Anyway it works

I am blind *sometimes

....but it looks like he figured it out

You could always use a bit of Javascript

For example:

document.myform.elements["-token"].value = document.myform.Naam.value ;

All the best.

Are you guys saying that it is possible to set many differnet token ??

as in :

<input type="hidden" name="-Token.0" value=[FMP-Field:SomeField]>

<input type="hidden" name="-Token.1" value=[FMP-Field:SomeOtherField]>

Can I really do that and have token.0 contain one piece of information and token.1 another piece of info ?

If so, what is the limit ? (how many token can I use ?) This could be REALLY usefull to me ! I always found one token to be very limitting

If not, what is the purpose of the .0 after the -token tag ?

Cheers

Thanks anyway !

You have 10 tokens, 0 to 9.

And that is what reading the CDMLRD will tell one. What a coincidence!
