Concantenate entry

[MtrMth]

Is it possible for a user to enter an ID like: "8400-134-3" and then I can
concantenate on to the end of it, a "h.jpg"? Basically creating
"8400-134-3h.jpg" that would then be passed to the server to do a file look up
and transfer to the users hard drive..

you didnt specify the language you are using. here is an ASP example.

1) user fills out a form and submits it
2) on the following page you do
<% finalName = request.form("user_entry") & "h.jpg" %>

to see the result just do <%= finalName %>

Sorry about the omission. I know .asp will work. We are trying to do this using only html. I appreciate your help. Thanks

If you want to process user input, you'll have to use something other than
HTML. That's just life.
The only thing you can do with form data with HTML only is send the form via
email in a mailto: action, and even then, it doesn't always work depending
on whether or not the user has a mail client installed, etc.

as above html wont cut it, but javascript will
go to google and type in "javascript concatenate", first couple of sites show how to do it with strings and with forms. so that should be your answer
