Q15 How do I pass a month from a drop down list to a field on another page?

Use the following on the source page:

<form>
<select name="selectName">
<option>January
<option>February
<option>March
<option>April
<option>May
<option>June
<option>July
<option>August
<option>Spetember
<option>October
<option>November
<option>December
</select>
<input type="button" value="Go" onClick="window.location.href = 'nextpage.html?' +
this.form.selectName.options[this.form.selectName.selectedIndex].text">
</form>

And the following on the nextpage.html:

<form name="formName"><input type="text" name="textName"></form>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.formName.textName.value = location.search.substring(1);
//--></script>

Or, alternatively:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.write("<form><input type='text' ");
document.write("value='"+location.search.substring(1)+"'><\/form>");
//--></script>

As this code passes data in the location object's search property, it does not work offline in Internet Explorer 4.
