What I'm doing is using the same page to process data as well as display the forms, the form action goes something like Action="me.asp?action=someting" and the data is sent via POST. but when someone wants to refresh that page, it prompts to use the same values again which I dont want to happen.
Does anyone know a way to destroy these values ??
When creating a form I normally post the data to the same page-picking up the form has been posted and act accordingly.
Is there any way of destroying the post data without having to redirect back to the same page after m,y code has executed?Basically this is to stop the form data being re-submitted if the user refreshes the page
i have a series of .asp pages that i am dividing into model, view, control logic. my view collects a whole bunch of data and posts it to the controller. im wondering if there is a way to somehow "re-post" this same data to my model page.
in short, is .asp capable of taking data posted to a page and re-post that same data to another page?
How to destroy an session
View Replies View RelatedI have an ecommerce site that works okay. My problem is that at the point where credit cards are put in I get an unique ID from the database which gets put into a session variable and then the user goes through makes the transaction and all is well.
The problem comes where if the browser isn't shut down you can go through the shopping process again but the session variable stays the same and this is causing me concern.
What I want to do is if the person leaves the site then the session variable is destroyed. Is there a line of code that can do such a thing or am I being simplistic in my approch?
I am using sessions to check if user is logged in or not and on the basis of that i redirect to the main page. For the matter iam using frames and based on condition i change the src. The session gets killed if i use the logoff button provided on the screen or when i close the browser and restart it default property,This works fine in IE.
But when i tried it out in mozilla and other browsers which support tabbed pages i encountered the problem when user closes the tab page directly, since the browser hadnt been closed ( only the tab page ) and if i type the web site address as the session hasnt been destroyed it shows the main page directly bypassing the logon page.
in past, i learnt from the book to post data by
action=post & input type=text
now the post data is not from user input
it is from a table which is generated by asp script
i wish to generate a table with a check box at each row.
when i select the check boxs, then the rows of the table will be posted to
another html page
any hints to me for doing this?
Secondly, how about if rows of the table will be posted to a input box on
another html page grateful if you could give me some hints.
i have an asp page with a form that posts to itself. (the action of the form
is the same page the form is on). i validate input and dont accept it if
there is something wrong with it. problem is that when the form is
submitted, and i display the error message, the data the user typed in the
box is gone. i work around this by setting a session variable as soon as the
user hits submit and store the data the user typed. then for the default
value of the textbox i have <%= Session("var") %and that leaves the users
data in the box for them to edit. is there a better way i could do this?

View Replies View RelatedI have a temporary file being created in an order processing system. After the user agrees the data is correct the data needs to be written to a permanent table. There are usually 100 or so records. what is the best way to do this? the fields names are not the same either and the new records also need to be updated with the price from the parts table.
temp file: item number description qty
permanent file: item description pcs price
The price comes from the parts table. When I link the parts and temp tables and try to insert into the permanent table, I am using a loop and it's taking FOREVER.

What is the maximum size of POST data? A page on the ASP FAQ web site
(http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/forms/...parameters.html)
is confusing me:
"While GET is limited to as low as 1024 characters, POST data is
limited to 2 MB on IIS 4.0, and 128 KB on IIS 5.0. Each name/value is
limited to 1024 characters, as imposed by the SGML spec."
Does this last sentence mean that no form field can submit more than
1024 (or 1024 minus the length of the form field name) characters
through POST?

I have developed quite a lots of ASP which accept POST data in plain text format. Those ASP URLs are fixed because other applications of other parties are using them.

I want the user's input to be processed before post it to another page.
Here is the situation:
1. User fills in form and hits submit
2. Some processing is done with the posted data using ASP

We've discovered a sticky little problem in one of our intranet based apps where the logon page can error out causing the user's uid and password to be visible in the returned post data.
e.g. "The Page Cannot be displayed"...."Technical information(for support personnel)"......"Post Data:MyUserName=BloggsJ&MyPassword=letMeIn....."
The page does contain error handling and the problem is extremely intermittent and revolves around write permissions/network connections to an Access database. I've tried to catch each possible error point in the code explicitly but this is proving impossible because of the sheer number of places it can occur. Code:
A coworker is creating a form. The user fills in some numerical data. We would like to present them with a Calculate button that they can use to submit their numbers and be presented with the same information but also with the totals at the bottom. BTW, we cannot use JavaScript so it must all be done using server-side ASP.
That part is fine but we also want to provide them with a Submit button in addition to the calculate button. Now, I realize that if both buttons are contained within the same <form> tag, there can be only one action URL.
We toyed with the idea that if name=calculate, display the original form with the fields filled in and the calculations done and if name=submit, redirect to the thank you page but given that the method is post, then the redirect would not transfer the post data. If the method was get, then the redirect could include the query string data in the URL but that is not the case.

I want to post the form data (http://server/page1.asp) to a modal dialog
window (http://server/modaldialog.asp) with a desired height 200px by width
200px.
Here's my attempts and problems:
Attempt #1) In http://server/page1.asp, it has code <form
action="http://server/modaldialog.asp" method="post" target="_blank">
In http://server/modaldialog.asp, it has code <body onBlur = "self.focus()">
It can produce modal dialog window modaldialog.asp, but I want to set the
width and height of modaldialog.asp.
Attempt #2) var sReturn = window.showModalDialog("modaldialog.asp", params,
"dialogHeight:200px; dialogWidth:200px;");
This is the effect I want. But this is not posting the form data to
modaldialog.asp. Any workarounds to my problems??

After I process the data, I need to write a response message to the external

people usually do, do I just write the xml message to response output
stream(let them extract from my page themselves) or
post data back to their page (which initially post/submit data to my server
program).
