When a Button is clicked in a Form, the JavaScript 'prompt' dialog
pops-up for users to enter any text. When the user clicks OK in the
prompt dialog, the text is populated in a TextBox & the Form posts. I
then retrieve the text using Request.Form.
The problem I am facing is in retaining whitespaces in the text the
user has entered. Assume that the user has entered the following text
in the JavaScript prompt dialog (note the whitespaces in the string):
"abc def ghi jkl"
The double quotes have been added just to show where the string ends;
they aren't a part of the string.
Now when I retrieve the string using Request.Form, this is what I get
(once again please neglect the double quotes):
"abc def ghi jkl"
i.e. irrespective of the number of whitespaces a user has inserted in
between the words in the JavaScript prompt dialog, Request.Form always
replaces all the whitespaces in between the various words in the string
with a single whitespace.
How do I ensure that the whitespaces entered by the user in the
JavaScript prompt dialog are retained by ASP?
I have got a page called view_month which displays records and allows users to update records then returns back to the view_month page. Because my view_month page uses an SQL with the table name as a variable which retrieves its value from the form in the previous page. My problem is that the table name disappears whenever I finish updating and tries to return to the view_month page. How can I retain the variable value so that whenever I updates and return the SQL will still contain the value.
I still have the weirdest problem. I posted that couple of weeks ago and I got too busy to follow up. When I was back, I redid the whole page from scratch and still got the same problem:
I have an Access database containing list of activities for my students, and each activity can be searched by a number of criteria and is linked to a file they can download... The search dn diplay of the results as well as downloading the file from the database work all fine... The problem starts when I have results that would span more than one page... When I click next, the new page displays a list of all records. I Response.write the query to know what is hapenning and I found out that the query reverts to Select * from table and loses the WHERE statement.
I will attach the code that I tried to document as possible.... Most of the code is created by Macromedia Dreamweaver except for the form variables and SQL statement... The code is long so ignore HTML and CSS.
I have an asp application where there are two pages. The first page pulls some data from a database and displays it in a tabular format with hyperlinks. When the user clicks on a particluar link, he/she is taken to page 2, where the specifics of that item come up with various text fields and drop down boxes, etc Code:
I have a form, which has various text boxes,check boxes etc. The problem is, when the user hits the submit button, if the form validation finds an error,say, the user forgot to fill in a field,the ticks from the check boxes dissapear.
as if the check boxes have reset themselves. How to I stop this? Is there a way to retain check box values if the form is submitted? This is also occurring with my list boxes,too.
I am having 14 textboxes on the form and One data grid control and one Button That button allows to open new web page (in new window) where in I can select some products from the list.
The products selected in the list are added in the Grid of my original form. I use response.redirect by passing parameters for that purpose. but that wipes out the contents of the textboxes. how can i retain them.
I have one .asp page with a SELECT pulldown list on it and some INPUT fields. When SUBMIT is clicked the form data is submitted to that same page and validated. If INPUT fields are empty the asp code will insert a visual indicator (e.g. *) to convey that the field must be filled in.
However, if the user has made a selection in the pulldown list and has left an INPUT field empty, when the form reappears after validation, the pulldown menu looses its selection and returns to its default value.Would anyone be able to provide a solution to this?Or do you need to see the code first?
how do i retian values in the textfield even after it is submitted ? Like for example, when you fill out most application forms, after submitting if there is an error it redirects you back to the first page alerting you of the error but the other values still remain. I would like to incoporate this function. where i can find them ?
I have a form which submits data to a new page based on the checkboxes that are clicked corresponding to each row of data. My next page has a cancel button which takes me back to the first page I have to retain the status of the checkboxes that were checked.
How do I do that? The no of checkboxes depends on the no of rows of data returned I have them named in a for loop as strcheck0, strcheck1 and so on . the data that is submitted to the next page is assigned to the value attribute of checkbox.

Can anyone tell me on how to retain the information that was being key in previously and mark which field was being filled in incorrectly rather than reset all the field to previous value?
I have done checking like this but i think it is not quite user friendly:
I have an asp driven website using an Access database.
Basically the user arrives to the site selects the product from a list. From their they are directed to another page where they see the starting price and then they can customize the product from a list of options that is also database derived. The result is a final price.
What I would like to do is have the ability for the user to save that product and on their next visit bring it back up along with any other products they saved.
(note...all I have is done using asp classic, access database, and some javascript)
Could someone direct me to a good or source or help me get started on how to create a user logon and retain their user info and how to do the above?
I am developing a membership based website for car auctions. It uses the session object on many pages, most importantly on user personal pages. When the user session ends, i.e., on logout, I use the Session.Abandon to destroy a session object associated with a particular user, and also turn a boolean variable session("Valid_User")=False (which was turned ON at the time of successful login and used on user personal pages for authentication).
But, when I go BACK and browse the previous pages, they still appear with the specific user's data, who logged in last time on the same browser. Why is it so? When I refresh the pages, only then the session variables' values are erased.
Secondly, my site doesn't allow me to login as a different user, even after logout, because I have put a check on the login page so that it doesn't allow a user to login again during his current session, which again means that the logout process doesn't destroy his session.
I have a "Email this page to a friend" form that submits to itself and contains the hidden input value="<%= Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>".
The value="<%= Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>" is to obtain the URL of the page that the person wishes to send.
The problem is, if someone creates an error in any of the input fields, the page submits to itself again and displays the errors. When this happens, the original HTTP_REFERER url address is lost and now replaced with the url of the "Email this page to a friend" page.
Is there a way to retain the original HTTP_REFERER value even though the user refreshes the page?
