justsomeguy Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 How are you storing the user ID for your site, and how are you connecting to IRC? It would seem straightforward to use whatever you want as the nickname, so if you already have access to the user ID for your site then you should be able to just use that.

justsomeguy Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 It depends on the scope. I was assuming that you are storing the user ID in a variable, but it matter what scope that variable has. If it's, for example, a CGI session variable, then any other CGI program should have access to the same session. It's hard to figure out what's going on though without seeing an example.

It's hard to figure out what's going on though without seeing an example.NO, its not stored as CGI session variable.The variable is on the client side, for instance, the user id could be used by any other app inside my web. The click of button in the website will launch the URL for IRC;I just dont get how to get this info(user id) to the CGI file that sits on the server.I know i can send it as query string along with the url, but i want to know if its possible to embedded this one in the html form information that is submitted to the CGI fileThanks again.

justsomeguy Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 If it's on the client side, then you can use Javascript to add a hidden input element to the form so that it gets submitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 document.getElementById("loginform").value = username;Make sure you put an ID attribute on the input element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
