I need to use info server-side, that would be taken from client-side JavaScript... is there any way I can do this? Or more than one?

Thanks!

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

So, if I could get the client-side variable info into a form field, hidden or otherwise... I could use the info, correct?

Thanks for the quick reply, btw.

Well there's a couple of other ways

There's the IE XMLTTP functions.
You could use some sort of iframe buffer method.
You could use a hidden flash app or Java app to pass realtime data back and forth from the client to the server side app.

What are you trying to do exactly?

Or there's this thread that works for me (no page refresh / form submit required, and no external applications) - just call up a script url that has a GET query string

I'm taking the exact time from a JavaScript real-time/self-updating clock and putting it into a table... so the user can see the actual time (updating second-by-second/minute-by-minute) and have their system time be the actual time being input by the form submission, as opposed to the server time.

Oh good, that's not too hard then. Put an onsubmit event handler in the form tag that takes the current time with Javascript and makes it the value of a hidden input field. Then this time will be submitted with the rest of the form.
