Passing Data To Pages Using Hidden Fields
I am creating a form that has 5 steps/pages. Each page contains about 20 fields. But I don't want to write them until they submit on the last page. I figured out that I can use hidden fields to carry the data from the previous forms forward. If should bascially work like this:
Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6
20 Fields 20 Fields 20 Fields 20 Fields 20 Fields 100 Hidden
20 Hidden 40 Hidden 60 Hidden 80 Hidden Write to DB
But the problem I am having is when I submit page 4 page 5 won't load. No error, it just won'tload. It seems to be overburdened. Is there a max on the number of fields it can pass? Is there a better way to go about doing this that someone can suggest? Or a suggestion that someone can make to fix this problem?

I am passing variables in hidden form fields and have got it working fine. However, if the variable value has a space in it then Request.Form("fieldname") only returns the first part of the variable upto the space and the remainder is lost.
I can pass such variables in the URL using URLEncode (and a URLDecode function) but this particular form is posting to the same page. Do I have to do some kind of encoding again to format the space properly and then decode it again?

I'm having trouble passing hidden fields between forms. I have a total of four forms. I have the 1st form passing its field to the 2nd form, and the 2nd form passing its field to the 3rd form, but the 1st form's field then is not passed into the 3rd form. So obviously, my summary form (the 4th form) is not getting the 1st form's field or the 2nd form's field, only the 3rd form's field. Code:

I have a asp page created which pulls information from an access
database. One of the things it pulls from the database is the address.
I want to put a link on this page which when clicked will open a
smaller new window asking the user to input their address. Once they
input the address and hit submit, the 2 addresses, user inputted (as
starting point) and the one from database (ending point) needs to be
inputted such that a url is formed, leading to the directions page on
yahoo or mapquest or any other site.
My question is how do I take the ending address and pass it over to
this new page (using http_referrer???) and then construct the url to
the directions page.

how can i set the value of a hidden field at run time in my page? how can it be done in scriplets (<%%>). the second issue is that if we define a function using javascript, how can it be called at any place.
we don't want to call that function at any event but instead want to call that function every time or on validating an if condition.

I have a product ordering process that passes information between 3 asp pages using web forms.
I am attempting to set a session on form2.asp with data entered into form1.asp . This session is then displayed.
I then wish to use this session value within a hidden field on form3.asp as follows
<input type="hidden" name="productname" value="<% Session ("productname") %>" >
This hidden field value is not being parsed in formmail.pl - any suggestions why this will not work?

I have a form in which if i check one checkbox it makes 2 textboxes invisible. Thats working fine.( I am using java script to perform this)Now when user fill the form and hit submit and if some required field is missing than it forces the user to go back to form and complete it.
While going back it retains all the values for all the fields.It also retails the checkboxs but even though the checkbox is checked now but textboxes which should be hidden are visible.

document.forms[0].Update.value='yes';
document.myForm.submit;
in a routine.
I have declared a Hidden field called Update in my form. I have checked before the submit that the value does actually get set, but after Submission the value of Update is empty. I have checked everywhere and this is the only place in the page that this value is set.
Does anybody have any idea why my value is being lost on submit. My form is declared :
<FORM NAME="myForm" action="AgentDetail.asp" method="post">

is there any Request object's method that could calculate the count of particular hidden fields, the ones that have a 'item' in their name:
<input type="hidden" name="item1" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="item3" value="20">
<input type="hidden" name="item5" value="30">
<input type="hidden" name="somethingelse" value="40">
The result should be 3, not 4 (only the fields which names - or IDs - start with an 'item'). Note: I'm not satisfied with the solution of naming the fields with same name "item" and then split the array to get their values and read the ubound of array. I would like to keep the names of the fields as I stated in the example.

i wrote a script in asp/vb script that validates form fields. all works fine, apart from the fact that alerts are being shown against the empty form fields when the page loads the first time.
so, validation should not be carried out when the page loads the first time. my friend challenged me and said i can achieve this "using a hidden form field or even the submit button" and submitting the page to itself
i was more thinking of using session variables or a session cookie, but does anyone know how you could accomplish this using a hidden form field?

passing a hidden value to a querystring via a form. It is not working correctly because when I submit, it will go to calendar.asp?date= instead of calendar.asp?date=12/13/2004.
Here's the code for the hidden value:
<input type="hidden" name="CURDATE" value="<%=dtCurViewMonth%>">
This code works because I have already tested. The value was correct.Here's the code for submitting the hidden value (this is the line of code that I need help with):
<form name="frmCalendar" action="Calendar.asp?date=<%=CurDate%>" method="POST">

I have two ASP pages payment.asp:
For customers to fill in payment/card details (pre-populating details if
details submitted were invalid and user had to re-fill in details)
confirmorder.asp:
Display the credit card details in hidden fields and also the order details
from Database
My question is:
1) If payment.asp submit to confirmorder.asp, then
1.1) I could get confirmorder.asp to display card details in hidden fields
BUT
1.2) But if card details are invalid how could I return user to payment.asp
with card details prepopulated??
1.2.1) If I Response.Redirect, nothing would be pre-popualting (unless I put
in details in Query string, which is not what I wanted for security reasons)
2) If payment.asp submit to payment.asp then
2.1) I could get page to pre-populate details on payment.asp if card details
are invalid BUT
2.2) How could I direct user to confirmorder.asp back to payment.asp with
details pre-populated
1.2.2) If I Response.Redirect, hidden fields cannot be populated by reading
in Request.form!

I have a page that lists many records. One field in each record has a hyperlink based on the records ID. I click on this hyperlink and it sends me to another page and also sends the ID with it. How do I pull this ID and paste it on the new page. Below is the sending and receiving page and the code I have on each.
this correctly sends to new page with releaseID passed in the browser URL
Response.Write "<a href=""modifyCompleted.asp?releaseID=" & rsList("releaseID") & """>" & rsList("requestNum") & "</td>"
Shouldn't I be able to display the ID without connecting to the database.
<%
Dim ID
ID = Request.Form("releaseID")
%>
<%=ID%>

My problem is this: This database has a field called "b_name" which contains the first, middle (if any) and last names of registered users. The table also has corrosponding other demographics pertaining to each registered user.
I've used the code below to parse the full names in "b_name" in the original table and put the names in another new table which has 3 fields, "FirstName" "MiddleName" & "LastName".
My problem is the fact that the way the names are stored in the original table and the parsed names in the new table do not correspond. Code:

I want to take the contents of many fields of various datatypes (varchars
and text) and combine them into a single "junk" field that I will perform
SQL Server free text searching upon, e.g.:
tblArticles
Title
Subtitle
ArticleText
CombinedField [Title, Subtitle, and Article text smashed together]
Is it possible to create a query or T-SQL stored proc that would do this? Is
SQL Server DTS a better approach? It needs to be built for each row in the
table, and it needs to happen regularly.
