[RESOLVED] KoolMoves 'Form' to replace HTML 'Form'?

This is my first post. I am an old (1970’s) programmer who is fairly new to Koolmoves, and a complete novice when it comes to using a Koolmoves movie as a form on a web page.

I am trying to replace an html form in a web page on my website with a Koolmoves movie which functions like the html form I already have. This form posts the 5 ‘combo boxes’ to a php web page I wrote which computes some values and then displays the results.

I created a Koolmoves movie with 5 ‘combo boxes’ and a button. For the button’s action I selected ‘Send Form Data’, got the ‘Send Variables’ dialog box, then keyed in the URL of the php web page I want the combo boxes’ values to be sent. I also selected URL target = self, and Send using = Post. On mouse events has ‘on release’ checked.

I renamed each combo box in the Koolmoves movie (form) to match the names I have for the combo boxes in the html version of this form, as the php web page is looking for these specific field names.

At this point, I don’t know the next step(s), beyond putting this movie on a page in my site. Are there many more steps to making this Koolmoves movie send the combo box data to the php web page?

Thanks for any help.

Found something in another post which led me to the answer(s) I needed.

Should have said 'thanks to the forum for your help'.

No complaint intended.
