A coworker is creating a form. The user fills in some numerical data. We would like to present them with a Calculate button that they can use to submit their numbers and be presented with the same information but also with the totals at the bottom. BTW, we cannot use JavaScript so it must all be done using server-side ASP.
That part is fine but we also want to provide them with a Submit button in addition to the calculate button. Now, I realize that if both buttons are contained within the same <form> tag, there can be only one action URL.
We toyed with the idea that if name=calculate, display the original form with the fields filled in and the calculations done and if name=submit, redirect to the thank you page but given that the method is post, then the redirect would not transfer the post data. If the method was get, then the redirect could include the query string data in the URL but that is not the case.
I need some help/pointers here. I maintain an ASP/MSSQL e-commerce site.
I need to force the use of HTTPS for private/payment data and force back HTTP on other pages. Some googling taught me the use of checking Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS"). Though GET data/QueryStrings are passed all my POST data is lost because of the REdirect. Code:
Is there a way to get data submitted to the server without using a form? At the moment I have a very complex form that takes a very long time to load (about 30 seconds), and at intervals I want to send save commands back to the server so that the dynamic information on the page can be saved. The problem is that if I do it the normal way it's frustrating for the user because they have to wait another 30 seconds for the page to reload.
I've also tried using a hidden IFrame and submitting that, but it slows the page's initial load down even more and is causing a bit of an administration nightmare. Also, the program stalls while it waits for a response (success/failure) to come back to the client.
I am developing a page that when it loads up, it will display certain information from an SQL statement using preset values. However when the user is using the page they can then use drop down menus, to choose different year, suppliers etc, the page then needs to reload showing this new information.
I think it is possible to do this using the response.redirect, and direct it back to itself, with all the new variables. However some information will stay the same and I just wondered if it was possible to only reload the information that was required to save on server time running sql statements taht need not run.
I have an ASP form that has a field that automatically places the current date into it. It uses the function Date().
The problem I am having is when the form is submitted into my Access database the date is coming out wrong in the Access field. The datatype for the field is Date/Time but it still is not coming out right.
Example: the date in the ASP form shows as 12/19/2006 and the entry in the Access form shows 12:00:27 AM. If I change the format of the Date/Time field to Short Date, the result is: 12/30/1899.
Does anyone know how I can get the data that is posted to the Access database to come out the same as the ASP form?
I have an ASP form that users enter a number into. The form then posts the number with a hidden login and password to a web address which opens in a new window. However, I want make sure that the number they enter is not one of the numbers I have in an Access database table that contains a list of numbers they are not allowed to enter. How can I do this?
I need to redirect to another web page, but that redirect will include the submission of form data. So, unlike ServerXMLHTTP which stays on the originating web page, I need the script to redirect to the page that I'm submitting the POST data to (without pressing a submit button).
I'm doing a quiz in ASP, where info is passed from "quiz.asp" to "validate.asp" which checks the answers from a database and redirects back to the quiz page to show the wrong answers.
All that is working fine, but the problem is that I also need to redirect some other information related to the user, and I don't want to use GET and the querystring to show that.
Sessions were used in previous pages but were killed and replaced by variables before the user comes in the quiz page because I don't want the pages to be time-restricted (if the sessions expire).
The validate page uses response.redirect to move to the quiz page. So I can't use a form there.
Is there any way I could hide the information passed using POST, and if not what is a safe way to get around this.
Is there another way to post data to my provider's server apart from the response.redirect and XMLHTTP?
I have tried both, problem with response.redirect is taht the user coudl easily tell who my provider is, and XMLHTTP I cant get to read from the other server the request.querystring status.
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 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
I have a temporary file being created in an order processing system. After the user agrees the data is correct the data needs to be written to a permanent table. There are usually 100 or so records. what is the best way to do this? the fields names are not the same either and the new records also need to be updated with the price from the parts table.
The price comes from the parts table. When I link the parts and temp tables and try to insert into the permanent table, I am using a loop and it's taking FOREVER.
Is there a way to see all the post data that is sent an .asp page. I am working on a page that is being returned from another application and I would like to know what data I can work with.
I have use an affiliate link on my site, and I did not like it because it did not have my sites banners on it, so I asked the permission of the other site to change the display and they aggreed..
The affiliate site has 4 pages of forms linking to each other so it goes something like form.asp > results.asp > results_details.asp > confirm_details.asp >>>>>> proceed to payment..
I wanted to grab the each page page using the XMLHTTP object and then the post of the form to a local pages on my site.. The local pages would grab the request.form string and then using code something like below..
on my page quote123.asp, I have <%=request.form%> and I never see the string "select=All" - why is this... Code:
What is the maximum size of POST data? A page on the ASP FAQ web site (http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/forms/...parameters.html) is confusing me: "While GET is limited to as low as 1024 characters, POST data is limited to 2 MB on IIS 4.0, and 128 KB on IIS 5.0. Each name/value is limited to 1024 characters, as imposed by the SGML spec." Does this last sentence mean that no form field can submit more than 1024 (or 1024 minus the length of the form field name) characters through POST?
What I'm doing is using the same page to process data as well as display the forms, the form action goes something like Action="me.asp?action=someting" and the data is sent via POST. but when someone wants to refresh that page, it prompts to use the same values again which I dont want to happen.
When creating a form I normally post the data to the same page-picking up the form has been posted and act accordingly.
Is there any way of destroying the post data without having to redirect back to the same page after m,y code has executed?Basically this is to stop the form data being re-submitted if the user refreshes the page
We have a create ASP page where the user fills in the fields and clickssubmit to post the data to a save page. Recently it looks like the data is being lost at some point. We use Request.Form.Item to get the data from the create page but its just bringing back a blank field.Has anyone else had a problem like this or have an idea why it might be happening?
I have developed quite a lots of ASP which accept POST data in plain text format. Those ASP URLs are fixed because other applications of other parties are using them. So, I want to redirect the POST data to new aspx pages. However, if I use Response.redirect("somepage.aspx"), the POST content is lost.
Does anybody have the syntax to post form data to a CSV file? On submit, my form page will post to another asp page that will actually handle the data being dumped to a CSV file. I just can't seem to find the correct ASP syntax for this.
Is there a way to save post data or post data from a redirect like this: Response.Write("<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""4; URL=AdminSelectAction.asp"">") If there is not, I'll have to spend a LOT of time coding in session variables and what not.
I was just wondering if there is a variable or procedure for getting all the POST data sent to a page. I don't want to have to handle every case for the POST data, I just want all POST data sent to the page to be outputted automatically.
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.
I am having an Excel where I maintain my data. I want to extract details from a website based on the data that I have in my Excel(i.e login to that website,post the data to the Website and get the details from the page n update it in my excel). How can I do this?
