[Javascript] Automatic Unique Form Numbering

[Natalia Olive]

Hi James,

I have done a similar thing using very "primitive" tools which did 
not include JS. I created a form that generates an incremental 
number (to identify the document) using ASP code combined with an 
MS Access database in which I'd created a query. Basically I tell 
the query to look for the highest number in that field, then add 1 
to that number and use that new number in the form. If you want to 
see a messy example with lots of FrontPage 2002 unsolicited code 
in the middle, let me know and I'll post it.

Hope this helps!

Natalia

>I have a form, but need to somehow generate an increasing UNIQUE 
number to be sent along with the form data. This could be whenever 
the form is loaded into the users browser or ideally when the user 
presses 'submit'. It would even be better if that number could 
become the 'subject' of the resulting email sent.
