Hi guys. Not sure what language should be used for this, so please move if appropiate. I have a feeling I need either php or JQuery. Basically, I have a form. The user may start filling out this form and then come across a link like so

<a href="#popup-box" class="popup-window">Advanced Form</a>

What this basically does is bring up (in a modal window with a darkened background) an advance version of the form. If they do this after they have typed some information into the basic version, I want to transfer what they had typed over to the advanced form. As this is a link and not a submit action, I may have to use Ajax or JQuery, not to sure though.

Any ideas of how I can retrieve this data in the advanced form?

Cheers

Nick

On the event handler that pops up the dialog why not just copy your form values across from the "basic" form into the "advanced" form's fields?

Sorry, I think this may become non php related, but say my basic form has a field called depart, did you mean to do something like this in the advanced form?

<input type="text" placeholder="From" class="job_selector" name="popup[]" autocomplete="off" value="$(depart.val())"/>

The above dont seem to work, but I presume you mean something along them lines, or something like this using php?

You would have to do it on the event handler of that link for the popup window. You can't set Javascript as the value of a form.
