Well I did a little research of my own and found that get shouldn't be used when a form is causing some big changes into the DB such as deleting, updating etc.
Until now I've always used GET for everything. So should I use Post for updating, deleting editing etc and GET only for retrival.
Is there a way to 'force' a submit on a form with out actually allowing the
user to press a button ? For example...
step1: A from is filled out by a user, then they click the submit button.
step2: The form is 'post'ed to an ASP page which writes the values to a
database. So far No problems. But..
step3: Now I want to 'post' these values again to another page without any
user interaction.
My ideas were:
1) I know you can get the form values from Request.Form("myVar"), so I
thought of making a 'dummy' form and setting the 'values' of the form
variables to these Request.Form("myVar") valiables, but I don't know how to
'submit' them to another page again.
2) Is there some type of 'submit' command in ASP?
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?
I've an html form with some fields, I have to normally post them clicking a
submit button to an asp page; this page have to programmatically repost
these fields and other constants to another page
I do this beacuse I don't want the web user to see the costants which are
the authentication values (username password)
I couldn't get my page to POST to my server I thought
because I had run IIS lockdown and other hardening tools.
Now I've rebuilt the whole server from scratch and have
yet to disable anything. I still can't POST. GET has been
working fine all along. Is there anything that needs to
be done beyond setting the forms method to POST and using
Request.Form(whatever), instead of Request.QueryString
(whatever)? Is there something that I need to put in the
ASP or client page header or something? I must be missing
something. Maybe IIS 5 needs to be set up to use POST or
something.
It's really simple question. How can I insert Statement/line with " ' ".. for exmaple I get error if I enter "Let's play".
I am trying to instert that line into table.
I'm trying to make a simple ASP page post to a URL on a seperate web site, and then get the returned HTML into a string which on service side script I can then parse. Is there any object built into IIS or Microsoft I could use Server.CreateObject with to make this possible?
View Replies View RelatedI have a form that get submitted. On the page that dose the db work I need a loop that will run through each record set and updated it to the db. I was thinking about writing a do loop that will increment scount = scount + 1 . the problem is that I have no idea how to tell if i am at the end of my request.form("id").
i can response my request.form("id") and i see all the id's listed acress the page.. just need to loop through then one at a time.
I am trying to re-write a post method search page so that it will accept variables using the get method. For those of you asking what the heck i'm talking about simply this. I need the ability to send variables through the url to the search page of my site.
This page would be a copy, i.e. Searchprods.asp-original that uses post method, Searchprods2.asp using get method. I am almost completely lost as I don't use asp, or even vbscript often.
i got a lot of text inputs inside table(60~)and i want to update them. till now i used to do it with posting to another page the variables and on the other page i will take all the posted values and update it inside mysql.
but suppose i got a long list of text inputs. is there to update only the changed fields? if i got 60 text inputs, and changed only 4. i realy think this is not logical to standon the other page and check all 60 posted variables one by one if they empty or not andupdate those which the user changed, or to skip the checking part and to update all 60 at once.
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 a VB application sending data via post to an ASP page.
The application sends two variable: id, txt
If txt has the & sign in its string, it cause trouble. E.g.:
id = 1
txt = "Hello & more"
If I take a look into Request.Form() array in asp page, it shows the
following:
id = 1
txt = "Hello "
more = ""
I'm posting a form from a php page to a page that's asp. I want the url parameters sent to the asp page to be the defaults of the form. I've never used asp so I'm not sure how to do this.For example:
www.test.com/test.asp?clientid=123
Text field in asp/javascript form called "client" should now default to "123".
In php I would have put this as the default value for the "client" field in the form: <?php $_GET['clientid']; ?>
What would be the equivalent way of doing it for asp?
what's wrong with the line below

I got an error:
Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assigment.
Now this is a weird one. I'm having a problem with a system in development. When I post data from a form in IE 5.01 it works fine, but in IE 5.5 it refuses to post the data to the server and in IE 6 it's scatty -- works sometimes but not others. Anyone seen this before?
Edit:
By the way -- this is normal VBS/ASP running on IIS 5 on an NT server
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?
Is there a way I can POST data from a ASP page to another page? I am not trying to POST data from a form to another page, but would like to create the POST headers from different variables, and then send it to another page
View Replies View RelatedI need to some how do the following and if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it very much.
I have a form that the user would fill out. When he/she clicks submit it goes into another page that reviews the information that the user typed in the previous form. If all of the information is good for the user there's another button in that page that they would have to click.
This is what I want to happen after they click on this button. I want to record the data in a SQL database, which I know how to do that, but what I want to happen automatically right after inserting the data in the SQL database is that I want the same data to be carried over to another page where there'll be another form and want that data to be populated in this new form. How do I do that?
I have a token passed to me from a secruity module on a remote machine that has checked username and password.

I can't get the posted data from the form into a little asp page that was supplied as an example. Code:
I created a form for users to sign up for a newsletter our site sends out. The thing is we use a third party that keeps a db of our subscribers and sends the email for us. The signup resides on our site and when the user submits they get poasted to this third party site and then click through and get refreshed to our site again.
We want change that process and keep the user on our site so now thier values need to get posted to the 3rd party behind the scenes. Code:
I have a form that ignores my form validation code. My code works if I use the post method of <%=Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")%>.
But, If I post the form to another .asp page, which I prefer, the code doesn't work. Do anyone have any suggestions? Here's my code.

To create a asp file in a wbserver as a interface for the IPphone and the internet. As IPphone can only have GET function ( that means it can't POST thing to the internet).
The asp file's concept is that the file is firstly read the data sent by the IPphone and then encode them into html format and then POST them to the required website. However, i only know the following method to POST. Code:
I'm at the end of developing an application. There's one form that the user can dynamically administer (add fields and remove them), and that form has at least 40 fields, plus the others that the user will add him/her self.
I let them test it and there is about 100 fields in this one form (with all my hidden fields for state maintanance and such, I use about 10 for various things).
My problem is that I cannot send the data to the server in IE (the most commonly used browser), but I can fine in FIREFOX. It'd be nice if everyone used FIREFOX, but no one who will use this application does.
I did a little research and I guess IE tops out at the CONTENT_LENGTH at 2083. I figured that was for passing name/value pairs via GET. My appp is sending 2796+. Sometimes over 3000, but even if I send it via POST IE won't send the request.
I'm testing with faux form with up wards of 3000 form elements and those don't seem to have any problem submitting. What could I be doing wrong?
I have a demo.asp page, that can't pass hidden value "mr progrramer" to
itself using POST method. Only "mr" is passed.
I created a second asp file demo1.asp and passed "mr programmer" and whole
string (include space b/w mr and programmer was passed successfully).
The code for demo.asp is:
<%
name = request.Form("name")
response.Write "hello " & request.Form("name")
' if name is empty then store some string with space in it
' problem is the word before space 'mr' is passed, but 'programer' is not
passed
if len(name)=0 then
name = "mr programmer"
end if

I have an opt in form on my site that ties into a 3rd party contact management system, however when I made the form for visitors to opt-in, I neglected to realize that I need to pass my username and password to this 3rd party site, so using a get or any url encoded method isnt a good idea becasue you'd be able to see the username and password to my account clear as day.

I have a .asp page that uses the post method and it works fine on my computer using iis. But when i put it on the web server (it has windows NT4) it wont work.
I've read that you have to do something to allow the post method on the server.
i know nothing about windows NT4 but can get access to the server. can someone please let me know what i have to do to get this to work?
Just to let you know the post method is for ssending a login and pass to another page that search a database for the record. If there is another way to do this that does not show the variables in the url please let me know. i am also willing to make it so that everything is on the same page so i dont have to pass anything.
i can't seem to find that great post that went through all the cdonts options for sending mail

i have an asp code which is somewhat like this:
<select name=test>
<option value="<%=parRs.Fields ("ProductId").Value%>">
<%=parRs.Fields ("description").Value%>
</option>
</select>
when i submit this page i can retrieve the value of the option box test, which is the productid.
I want to send the both the id and descritption in the select test, and how do i retrieve them on the next page?
I know we can use the id and open a db conection on the next page and retrieve the description, but this is a bit bulky when we have many selection boxes.
