    Hi,

    Sending form data to a database works perfectly, but is that possible to fill form fields with data taken from database? I would like to call form with id of some record in some table and the form should load with data of that record. Is it possible?

    Thanks

    And one more problem. I would like to add some js but some functions doesn’t work. Even simlpe thhings like below:

    function before_submit() {
    document.getElementById(“wdform_3_elementform_id_temp”).value=”abc”;
    }

    or

    function before_submit() {
    var valueID = $_GET(‘idvar’);
    alert(valueID);
    }

    idvar in above function is a variable sent in page url.

    Above are very simple functions and if they were working I could try to send values of db the fields in url and then put them into form elements.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Sona

    Dear user,

    By default there is no option for that.

    The first sample should work, whereas the second will not, since you are using PHP $_GET superglobal within Javascript, this link should be useful for you- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5448545/how-to-retrieve-get-parameters-from-javascript.
