How To Retrieve Form Values, When Form Elements' Names Are (almost) Unknown?
I have a form that is dynamically generated since it is populated with values retrieved from a database. The form can of course also be submitted, which is where I run into some problems.
Since I never know in advance what the length of the form (or for that matter what the different elements' names and values) will be I don't know how to write the code in "receive.asp" to retrieve all values from the form correctly without excess use of "request.....".
I shouldn't have to write requests for every single potential element name that is stored in the DB. Please note that the form can sometimes also contain radio buttons and check boxes, even though they are not present in this short example Code:
Is there a way (and can you give me a very brief example or point me to one) to go through all the form objects sent by a PUT to determine what the form object names were and the values sent?
I need to do this with VBScript on a "classic" ASP application.
Request.Form doesn't seem to do it. While I can tell how many objects were sent (Request.Form.Count) and what the value of each object is (Request.Form(I).Item or simply Request.Form(I)) to some degree, I can't seem to nail down the object name.
Also, I noticed that a <button> field with an embedded <img> returns the image when queried by Request.Form(I).Item.
I have a feedback form which user completes and data is submitted to db. I then want to allow user to edit this form so I retrieve values from db and populate the textboxes. This is working fine. My question is how do I set checkboxes and radio buttons to reflect these values?
It must be something like 'if value is ?? then check the box', but what is the correct syntax and is this code placed within the actual radio box/checkbox?
if i have a vbscript function on a certain form and I assigned some values on an array variable on that function, is there a way for me to retrieve the values of that array on another asp page once i submitted the form?
I need to create a script that will collect any variables sent by a form.
Reason: A company that I work for wants to have a script that they can pretty much send any HTML form to that will send them an email with the results. So if they make a new form with different form fields next week, they can point it to the same script.
Is there anything in ASP that can "Just collect Anything/Everything" that is sent from the form?
Is there any way to extract the form elements' value without submitting the form. I want the value of the form element be used in the script written in the same page without submitting the form.
My client wants File Uploading in ASP that i can do but the requirement says that i should have one FORM FILE FIELD first to browse the file to upload. and the moment i click the browse button of first FILE FIELD, a second FILE FIElD is generated beneath it and when the user clicks on the second Browse button it generates the third and this process goes on. Untill the user clicks the upload button to upload all the files. I know this sounds stupid as it is much easy to provide 5 Form File fields and if user wants more then another five is added on another page, but ti is clients requirement . I dont know how to dynamically Generate Form FILE FIELD for browsing file to upload AT RUN TIME .
I have a problem with reading data from a form element(s). Instead of using a Type=Submit, I have chosen to use a hyper-link to call a select case structure which adds, edits or deletes a record depending on the contents of the action property.
here is a couple of lines showing two text box's in my form, directly following is the href that passes data to the select statement.
How can I check to see if a form element exists on a form that has been submited? I have a load of checkboxes called box1 box2 box3 etc. I want to create a loop which gets the value of the box (checked or not), but there is an unknown amount of boxes so I want a loop:
I have a form on an ASP page that has 5 text boxes, for data entry. I am trying to get data from the text box, and pass it to a hidden text box on the form.
The hidden text box is called "MyDateTime" (a SQL date and time value). I am attempting to concatenate data from two other textboxes (one for date and one for time) to give a string like : "8/8/2004 8:00 AM" I am trying to use the following: Code:
When you submit the form you can see I am trying to get the each row of the form elements into a format such that I can build multiple insert statements. Here is what I am working with:
<% Dim x For x = 1 to Request.Form.Count Response.Write Request.Form.Item(x) Next
Would I use some type of Mod operator on the value of x to determine my line breaks?
I have a table that contains all of the function permissions within a given application. These functions are different sections of a site and each has its own permissions (READ, WRITE, UPDATE, DELETE) which are controlled by a web frontend and the table records are manipulated to control the permissions. Code:
I have a dynamic form sending information via name=value pairs.I know I can read the value of each element in the sending form by using the following.... for i = 1 to request.form.count response.write "<p>" & request.form(i) next
but since it's a dynamic entry page (it's built based on number of fields in a database), I need to know the name of each element also.not just the value.Is there a good way to get the "name" portion of the element on the form without having to parse through the request.form string?
I am designing a shopping site, in the picture the #1 section is a check box behind product name that customer can select that product to buy in #2 section the customer can set quantity of the selected product ok now codes this is the code which I have used to pull out produts and categoris from database and show them on the page Code:
I tried posting this a minute ago but timed out, so sorry if this is posted twice. I want to make an IF statement in ASP using VBscript that will run if a checkbox in a form is checked (and won't otherwise). How do i refer to the form field (checkbox) in the IF statement to do this?
Is it valid to get information from a request.form assign that to a value then use that value to get other content on the requested page.
I return a large rs with multiple feild names. I can't use a static feild def because they would overwrite each other on the loop, SO i create dynamic field names then pass the id back to the next page via javascript. I then use that id to add to the feild name to make sure I get the right feild.
I'm trying to retrieve the name of a textfield, instead of it's value. I'm using a html page with a very simple form, containing 8 textfields. When submitted I call an asp page, and from that page I want to retrieve the textfield names from the submitted form.
Does anybody have an idea how the do this? It's for entering value's into an xml file and i want to use the textfield name's for naming the new xml elements.
What I want to do is that I have created text box on one form so whenever user type something init and click search button then I want to display that text box value on other form so that i can retrieve a record according to that user's number... Code:
I can get all fields, but how do I not get the button in the loop
Dim FormFields Set FormFields = request.form Dim Field if request.form("Button2") = "Update Order" then For each Field in FormFields response.write Field & " = " & Request.Form(Field) & "<br>" Next end if
I'm trying to retrieve a certain string within a form. The string starts with an unique 4 character identifier, but then is followed by 5 numbers that is not constant.
Example strings: wxyz51268 wxyz98547
So the string will always be 9 characters in length and start with the "wxyz".
I have some code in my form as follows, to display 1 to 20 additional sets of fields to enter guest information. I am not sure how to retrieve these guests info so that I can post the info on an email such as:
Additional Guest 1 First Name = Last Name =
Additional Guest 2 First Name = Last Name =
i.e. The 'First Name' for guest 1 is name="AG_fn<%=x%>" The code loops through depending how many sets of fields were completed.
I want to call a recordset so you can edit the details and then obviously pass the parameters onwards into the db. However, the user guide just says this:
To process other fields in the form, use the Form collection of the upload object the same way you would use the Form collection of the Request object. For example, if your form had a text element named UserName, your processing code would include: Code:
I want to set up a simple database for my mom to enter her recipes into. I am going to use Access and ASP. In the database, I will have five fields (Recipe_ID, Recipe_Title, Recipe_Ingredients, Recipe_Instructions, and Recipe_Image). When my mom goes to enter a recipe, I want to ask the form to ask my mom how many Ingredients?
She will then specify "n" number of ingredients which will cause the page to display "n" number of text boxes. I can figure this part out myself. When the form is submitted, I want a script that will read and concatenate the ingredients, wrapping <li> tags around each one. The challenge for me is the reading of an undetermined number of form elements?
I have got a form where I offer a default date (01.01.2004) and visitors can change it and make queries in the database. After changing this, the customized date should be displayed in the form instead of the default one.
Dim ix For ix = 1 to Request.Form.Count fieldName = Request.Form.Key(ix) fieldValue = Request.Form.Item(ix) Response.Write fieldName Response.Write fieldValue & Next Response.End
It is not returning the results of any field on the previous form page. Does anyone know what I might look for?
we have a web system whena user submits a form, it's take to a page... if the user didn't fill in a particular form properly then resulting page tells them so. they then go back and fill in the remaining fields.this works for all but 1 user whose values disppear totally, having to do it all again.has he got his computer set up differently?
I have created a asp page "AddUsers.asp" which allows the admin to create new user ids.The admin fills in all relevant details and clicks on submit.The form gets posted to a page "Insertusers.asp" which checks if the new entered userid already exists in a database.
If the userid already exists, page display a message saying "Userid already exists" and a back button(link to Addusers.asp).When the admin clicks on back button, it takes him to Addusers.asp and all the relevant details entered in a form are lost.Again he has to fill in all the details which i want to avoid.How can i retain the values entered in the form so that the admin can change only the userid and submit the form again?
I have a problem where form values go missing. The are several forms on one page with indivdual names (i.e. form1, form2) but with the same fields. Whenever the form is submitted via post the values disappear. It only happens on this one particular page.
The odd thing is that if I do a response.write with the variable and then a response.end write after it it shows up perfectly. The page is just a basic record update page. If I do a response.flush() it works as well (up until the redirect). I am leaning towards a response buffer problem but still don't understand why it is happening.
