Multi page and hidden fields

granj1001 30 Apr, 2010
Hi,

I set up a new multi page form, without server side validation. It was a pleasure to set up a final validation form in order to allow the user to review and correct its entries.

There are a few computations in the confirmation form. I would like to transmit theses extra values as hidden fields to the mother form. Unfortunately, I could not set or update value of hidden fields with JRequest::setVar(). The only way is to use manipulate fields with JFactory::getSession, which does not look like a "standard way" to me (more like a hack).

Could someone explain me more how to pass calculated values from validation form (last child) to mother form (db record/mail)?

Hi granj1001,

Where are you doing the computations? In the Form HTML, or OnSubmit boxes? or in the browser with JavaScript?
