(jeffa) Re: Increment Number with form button push

[jeffa]

You are never updating the variable to be carried over. First, $add_limit is unecessary, just do this instead:

my $limit_3 = param("limit_3");
my $limit = param("limit");
$limit = ($limit_3 + $limit);

print $limit; # and rest of form

Now, when you write out the hidden field, it will contain the current value. Before, you were writing out $limit to the hidden field without changing it's initial value, which was always 0.

Here is some more code to meditate upon:

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);

my $i = param('hidden_i') || 0;
my @view = qw(
   first second third   fourth
   fifth sixth  seventh eighth
);

my $view = $view[$i++];

param('hidden_i',$i % @view);

print header, 
   start_html('hidden fields'),
      h1($view),
      start_form,
         hidden('hidden_i'),
         submit,
      end_form,
   end_html,
;

Ah Yes! This works!
If I wasn't having such a brain fart I'd write something clever.

Thanx
