Re: [phpesp-general] Trying to put referer in a question's answer

[Edward S. <lbs...@us...>]

Well, I have not received any replies, but i wanted to give a status report for the archives - especially since it seems that phpESP uses an invalid naming convention for input tags.

1 - I could not find a way to do this in phpESP.  Fine.

2 - I decided to use javascript, have the first question ask the user where they came from and have the javascript autofillin the answer (which the user could always change).  Sound workable

3 - Found that phpESP seems to use an invalid naming convention for its input tags.  All input fields in the survey begin with numerals.  According to http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#h-6.2 "ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".")."  As a result, the javascript I tried fails.

4 - I will be trying to modify the code to add an ID to the input tags, just so I can modify and use them for the javascript.

Have fun.

Ideally, I would like to have the identify of the page they came from included in the survey results, rather than asking them to enter it.
