[thelist] CGI Form Submit in Javascript

[TRG]

***It's a long one...sorry...***

I need to be able to convert this form (I've edited
some of the fields for content reasons) , which uses
the following two scripts (one to validate, one for
the submit), and have it POST the results as a Query
String which I can pass along to another URL designed
to handle the results. 

Let's say the url is:
http://www.whereever.com/Engine.asp? 

The text input fields in HTML are collected mostly
like this: 

11.zip 
4.firstname 
5.lastname 

and so on...the FORM action is... 

<form name="tshirt" onSubmit="return
submit_form(tshirt);"
action="/cgi-bin/ipoform_engine.cgi" method="post"> 

<input type="hidden" name="config" value="tshirt"> 
<input type="hidden" name="1.code" value="$key"> 
<input type="text" size="22" class="iform"
style="width: 195px" name="UniqueCust"> 
<input type="text" size="22" class="iform"
style="width: 195px" name="first_name"> 
<input type="text" size="22" class="iform"
style="width: 195px" name="last_name"> 

and so on... 

Which I need to do as a JavaScript submit and not
CGI..?? would I just specify the action to be
action="http://www.whereever.com/Engine.asp?" 

What if I collected all of the data into an
associative array how would I load into the action
when it submits...??? 

If anyone has any thoughts or help...I'll repay the
favor in kind. 

Thanks!

Here's the script: 


<script language="JavaScript"> 
<!-- 
function submit_form(thisform) { 

var not_filled; 
var num_not_filled; 
num_not_filled=0; 
not_filled=""; 
all_required=true; 

if (!thisform[3].value) {all_required=false;
not_filled=not_filled + 'E-mail Address, ';
++num_not_filled;} 
if (!thisform[4].value) {all_required=false;
not_filled=not_filled + 'First Name, ';
++num_not_filled;} 
if (!thisform[5].value) {all_required=false;
not_filled=not_filled + 'Last Name, ';
++num_not_filled;} 


if (!all_required){ 
not_filled=not_filled.substring(0,
not_filled.length-2) 
alert('The following information is required, but was
not entered: ' + not_filled + '.'); 
return(false); 
} 

if (!isEmail(thisform[3].value)) { 
alert('A valid E-mail address is required to register
for this promotion.'); 
return(false); 
} 

answered = true; 

checked=false; 

if (thisform[2].checked) {checked=true;} 

if (!checked) {answered = false;} 

if (!answered) { 
alert("You must agree to give us permission in order
to register for this promotion."); 
return(false); 
} 

} 

function isEmail(str) { 
// are regular expressions supported? 
var supported = 0; 
if (window.RegExp) { 
var tempStr = "a"; 
var tempReg = new RegExp(tempStr); 
if (tempReg.test(tempStr)) supported = 1; 
} 
if (!supported) 
return (str.indexOf(".") > 2) && (str.indexOf("@") >
0); 
var r1 = new RegExp("(@.*@)|(\\.\\.)|(@\\.)|(^\\.)"); 
var r2 = new
RegExp("^.+\\@(\\[?)[a-zA-Z0-9\\-\\.]+\\.([a-zA-Z]{2,3}|[0-9]{1,3})(\\]?)$");

return (!r1.test(str) && r2.test(str)); 
} 

//--> 
</script> 

Any thoughts?
