Getting data from a form
I need to display a different graphic dependant on a user name. So far, I have a form that correctly submits the user name to the action page. But, on the action page, I do not know how to determine the user name.
Here is what I have:
Log_in.html has a form entitled "LogInForm" with action set to "Logged_in.html" with "get" method. Inside the form is input named "userName". when the submit button is pressed, you're properly moved to "Logged_in.html" with the ?userName appended to the end.
Inside "Logged_in.html" how do I determine the user name??
Ive tried things like
var userName = document.LogInForm.userName;
and
var userName = document.LogInForm.userName.value;
and
var userName = document.getElementById("userName");
None of these seem to work. and I need the current user name to display the appropriate graphic...
