How can I pass one hidden form value into a new form on a second page, and then post all values onto a third form on a new page?

Delf Burkhardt, Rob Suisted,
I'll show you the two steps,
works on NS 4.5++, IE4++
you have to create two html-files,
called step_1.html and step_2.html:
<html>
<head>
<title>submit</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="step_2.html">
<input type="hidden" value="topsecret" name="hiddenfield"><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
// 2nd html-file starts here:
<html>
<head>
<title>Answer-Form</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
//
var esc = unescape(location.search);
var ss = esc.substring(1,esc.length);
var ok = false;
var myTitle=new Array();
var myContent= new Array();
var cur="";
if(ss.length!=0){
ok=true;
ss= unescape(ss);
str=ss.split('&');
for (var i=0; i<str.length;i++){
cur=str[i].split('=');
if (cur.length==2){
myTitle[i]=cur[0];
myContent[i]=cur[1];
}
else{
myTitle[i]="";
myContent[i]=cur[0];
}
}
}
function init(){
for(var i=0;i<myTitle.length;i++){
if(myTitle[i]=="hiddenfield"){
document.forms[0].showfield.value=myContent[i];
break;
}
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">
<form action="step_1.html">
<input type="text" value="" size="30" name="showfield"><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit"><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>
