The form builder only knows which variables are being used if you add them to your form by using the built in elements. What you'll need to do is keep the element holding the html hidden with some css.
#myhtml{
display:none;

All variables have to added to the form through the form builder app for submission. You can have them hidden as long as you don't use the built in conditionals and add a html element with the proper css to keep them hidden. You need to do is either use Javascript or JQuery to pass the values to the input in the form.

I am really struggling with this - what am I missing?

I have now put the 1st dynamic HTML in as a text field.

Then have this script:
<header id="secondHeader"></header>
<script>
document.getElementById("secondHeader").innerHTML=document.getElementById("item12_text_1").innerHTML;</script>
Do I put that under the text field as an HTML element or in the confirm settings in WFB?
What ever I do it does not seem to work.

Any thing you need as a passed variable needs to be done on the form.

This is one way that may lead you down the correct path.:)
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>$( document ).ready(function() {
$( "#item12_text_1" ).val( "<strong>Hello</strong>" );
});</script>
<style>#item12_text_1{
display:none;
}
</style>

This is what I was hoping for - Hello
This is the result - not quite what I am looking for.

I think either this is not possible or we are on cross wires. :/

My HTML code IS passing to the form correctly using my function but NOT displaying correctly!

I'm confused are you trying to pass a variable to the form or from the form to another page?

You're confused :lol:

Forget the variables, they are going through to the form no problem. It is the display that is the problem.

eg. If I passed <strong>Hello</strong> to the form the confirmation message (same page of new page) displays
"<strong>Hello</strong>"

It should be Hello (in bold with no <'s, >'s or /'s etc. I don't know how clearer I can be :/
