Thanks for your help. I was actually trying to avoid server side
scripting - forgot to mention that. I guess I was also little
confused ! Anyways, I've got it now. In the end I used cookies for the

the username to be available in the next page.

You need to post to a server0side script to process the POSTed values

Just realize that cookies are *not* always available

Take care,
