is there any way to take inputted information from a text field from one page and display it, or let another page use the information?

-----------------------------------

you would usually have some scripting language such as PHP or Ruby handing the information submitted through the form.

This will allow you to change the text of one element based on the text from another.



Test




function update() {
    document.getElementById("2nd").value = document.getElementById("1st").value;
}




Change

But like Tony said, you'll need something like PHP or Ruby in order to view the text on another page.

Actually if you really want to do anything useful you need php or ruby AND some other back end database to store the text in. Writing directly to files *does* work, but it's slow and is highly prone to race conditions.
