Encoded Chars From Form Post
I have an application that let's the user enter text into a textbox and this
data is collected on the server and stored in a database.
The page is multilingual and sets Response.Charset to the appropiate for the
language, for example gb2312 for chinese etc. This made all texts on the page
show up alright.
However, I did not change the codepage of the page so ASP encoded the post
data sent to the server and I have got really ugly texts for certain
languages.
I have had applications before doing the same thing where the page has been
able to decode the posted characters again when redisplaying them, but in
this case I haven't been able to get anything meaningful from them.
It seems to me that the encoded text depends on the charset used when
entering the text, entering chinese characters when using iso-8859-1 gives me
character codes like Ӓ which probably would be alright to convert but chinese
text that has been entered in the gb2312 charset look like this Code:

I have a form where the user enters a customer name, then clicks the submit
button which then adds it to a database. This works absolutely fine untill
the name has an apostrophe in it.
eg when the name entered is O'Hanlon and its submitted, I get this
error.....
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E14)
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''O'Hanlon'

I am in the process of overhauling a website that has some static buttons I would like to convert to rollovers. The links are ASP encoded -- is there any reason that this would not work? The first time I tried I had a typo and it locked up the whole site -- before I try again I wanted to make sure that there is not something inherently wrong with this code. I am obviously not an ASP programmer :-) Following is the original static link:
<a href="indexGateway.asp?cat=07&category=422&CatName=<%= Server.URLEncode("Footwear") %>" target="thebody"><img src="Images/navBottom/cat_07.gif" width=85 height=19 border=0></a>

I've seen something on my logs that's not supposed to happen.pagea.htm has a form with a Select list called country as below:
<select name='Country' size='1'>
<option value='USA'>USA</option>
<option value='Canada'>Canada</option>
'lots more countries...
</select>
Page B has code that references request.form("country"),and assumes that this field is nonempty as it is coming from a select list.I saw an error caused by an empty string in this country variable
The User agent was IE6, and the pages appeared in the correct order in the IIS logs.pagea.htm (the page with the form) was requested with a GET method about a minute before the POST to pageb.asp, and no intervening pages were requested by that IP I would suspect AOL wierdness, but it's not an AOL IP.

I've always been able to find my answer in other posts. Which leads me to wonder if what I want to do can be achieved?
I need an xml object to post a form on my site without a user having to click submit.
The form it will be submitting will always be submitting to 1 specific page. The form element it submits will be a different string every time. When the form is fired off it will search for this string in the code of the page it has been sent to and then return to me whether it was found or not.

Basically, I have a dataset I need to send to a vendors site. They
have a page that will accept from form posts. What I'm trying to
figure out is how to loop through and submit form data when I do not
have control of the end site.
My basic idea is to have a page that will cycle through the dataset
put into invisible form fields and submit to the site (many times
over). Is this possible through asp?

We have created a new ASP file that will process a standard HTML form, write the data submitted in the form to a database table, and send us an email of the data submitted. All works OK except if we now send that form code as part of an email, the form appears OK at the receiver's end, but when you fill in the form, there is no data that is transmitted back to the asp file.
The ASP file acknowledges the receipt of the form, and all that, but there is no data in the email and no data in the table.
It is obviously something that is happening when it is sent as an email, but I have seen this sort of thing done before, with a form in an email, and I wonder if anyone has some clues as to what we need to do to make the form work properly when sent as an HTML email.

Alright, I have a form that needs to post to form_process.asp
However, it also needs to post to another site/, say example.com/process.asp
How would I do this?
The place it needs to post to is off site, and MY form_process.asp needs to save the data before submitting it to example.com/process.asp
Possible?

I want to add another button that when pushed submits it to another page, say print.asp
How is that done?

I have problem getting right info using array.
When I post data with form:
<% i = 1 %>
<input type="text" name="Boys(<%=i%>)">
and retrieving the data on another page:
<%
i = 1
Response.Write Request.Form("Boys(i)")
%>
I do not see the data. If I replaced "Boys(i)" with "Boys
(1)", I can see the data. What am I missing?

I have form1.asp which contains a form which is posted to and processed by a page called process.asp.I want to create a second form on form2.asp and also post it to process.asp. On process.asp I would execute different stored procedures conditionally based on where the form is submitted from.How can I tell which page the form is submitted from?
I think I should be able to have a hidden form field on my forms and post that to process.asp.Is there a better or preferred method.?Can I combine these three pages on one asp page?

I am posting a form variable to an ASP script, but when the asp script receives the variable, I don't want it to open a new web page or open in the same window. I also can't have the script on the same page and refresh the page.
I use javascript to submit the form with the hidden field, and I want the variable to be processed by the asp script in the background on the server and return nothing. So essentially, i want the script to run transparently. How can I do this with asp? We run a classic environment.
I am doing this because the script is a tracking script, and it's disruptive for the user to see any trace of it. I want them to continue surfing as normal.

How do I simulate this from the server side:
<form name="SearchForm" method="POST" id="SearchForm"
action="http://SOMEURL/Search.ASP?Parm1=1&Parm2=2">
I have generally been posting data using:
Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
xml.Open "POST","http://SOMEURL/Search.asp?" & strParmList, False
xml.Send
The above is fine for passing URL parameters, but I need to simulate it coming from a form which has a name. How do I pass the form name which is used at the posted URL?

I need to validate a form before
it is emailed to me. I don't really understand what email
functionality I have on the server (and the tech support might get
back to me in about 10 years). Right now all the current forms are e-
mailed using a method="post" action="http://www.website.com/cgi-bin/
mail?user@website.com", but I do not have any access to the script
that is e-mailing the form data.
What I would like to do is validate the form data and then e-mail it
directly, bipassing the mail script I'm currently using (the /cgi-bin/
mail?user@website.com), or validate the form data and pass it to the
current e-mail script.

Here is the situation:
1. User fills in form and hits submit
2. Some processing is done with the posted data using ASP
3. The posted form variables now need to be submitted to another script which only receives POSTed data.
How do I send the posted data to another script? I can't run step 2 on the next script as its validation script and I'm going across two servers.

If i have a standard textfield within my form:
<input type="text" name="number" size="10">
and i submit the form with the textfield left blank, when i use:
Request.Form("number")
what data type will it return? I need to know the data type so i can check for "", null, nothing or something else.
Assume these scenarios:
1. The user is supposed to type in a number in the textfield
2. The user has no restrictions on what he can type in the textfield
