[Javascript] sending of variables via email...(makes more sense)

Tue Jan 21 11:05:57 CST 2003

I'm not a JavaScript expert, but you don't set the VALUE of
formNumber anywhere. You set the id, but not a value. I thought you
needed a Name and Value to set a value for a variable to be passed
via a form.

Also, check to make sure you have register.globals on in your php.ini
if you have any problems passing variables properly in PHP.
