Have you tried using [FMP-CurrentFind], and the related tags?

Please refer to your CDMLRD.

Ok, that was just a guess and you hadn't said you'd tried it.

No, a token won't work because you will be unable to set it.

JavaScript may be your only hope. And that should prove tricky.

You can use some JS to set the token.X = to form element X

  

<script>

	  function TOKEN_PASS()	     

	   {	 

		 document.FORM_name.elements["-token.X"].value = document.FORM_name.elements[X].value;	      

		 document.FORM_name.submit();	     

	   };

</script>

However, I don't know if the token will get passed to an -error page...it "should" but I have not tested it.

I hope it helps

My startpage look like this with the JS:

...

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table> <input type="hidden" name="-error" value="search_error.htm">

function TOKEN_PASS()

{

document.FORM_name.elements["-Token"].value = document.FORM_name.elements[x].value;

document.FORM_name.submit();

};

</script>

</form>

...

And my error-page look like this:

...

...

And it returns [FMP-Field: date] in the input field.

I don't think you understood me correctly

"document.FORM_name.elements[x].value;"

is a general format...you have to count how many elements you have in the form...text fields or drop lists OR Hidden fields are counted as 1 each. so if your text field is 3rd in the form it would be

document.FORM_name.elements[3].value;

also your form has to have a name "FORM_name" is a general format.

so:

<form action="FMPro" method="post" name="FORM_name" >

also the <script> should go above HEAD tag in HTML and then called with submition. sooooo

  

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<head>

<title>Token Set to the Nth Element of a Form</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script>

function TOKEN_PASS()

{ 

document.FORM_name.elements["-Token"].value = document.FORM_name.elements[8].value;

document.FORM_name.submit();

};

</script>

</head>

<body>

<form action="FMPro" method="post" name="FORM_name" onSubmit="TOKEN_PASS();">

  <input type="hidden" name="-db" value="booking.fp5"> <!-- 1st element -->

  <input type="hidden" name="-lay" value="in"><!-- 2nd element -->

  <input type="hidden" name="-format" value="search_show_day.htm"><!-- 3rd element -->

  <input type="hidden" name="-error" value="search_error.htm"><!-- 4th element -->

<input type="hidden" name="-SortField" value="computer"><!-- 5th element -->

<input type="hidden" name="-SortOrder" value="Ascending"><!-- 6th element -->

  <input type="hidden" name="-op" value="eq"><!-- 7th element -->

  <input name="date" type="text" id="date"><!-- YOUR NUMBER 8 element -->

  <input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit">

  <input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset">

</form>

</body>

</html>

also I would look into CDML reference for "-Token"

now go get lucky
