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

[T Buck]

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.

I take it we weren't fast enough by that last post.

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.
