Passing values from a form to a page containing forms.

Question

I would like to pass a value from a form to a page containing two forms (one of the forms is in a tab).Once the value is passed, I want the two forms to be executed with the value passed. Can this be done and how? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, this is possible.
I will give you a brief outline.
From the 1st form, you need to save the value, you want to pass to the 2 other forms, using the wwsto_api_session apis.
Then, using go() or call() from the Successful submission section, you need to go/call the page containing the 2 forms.
You need to write some pl/sql code in the 2 forms (on the page) to retrieve the value saved and perform the action you desire. The saved value can be retrieved using the wwsto_api_session apis.
However, both forms will not get executed at the same time unless both of them are in the same tab i.e. unless both forms are visible at the same time.
If the forms are on different tabs, they will get executed when they are being displayed.
But, there are ways to execute both the forms, if it really necessary, even if they are not on the same tab.
I will be posting the an example soon in this thread.
