I am trying to pass a hidden field value on a form into another field on the form so that it can then be inserted in the database, to enable me then to reference that number at a later date.
(The hidden value (1 for example) would then automatically get passed to the other input field.)
The code for the text field that allows users to type an number into it for submission to the db is below, but what code do i need within the hidden field to populate this text field below so that users do not have to type the number in? Code:
I have a form on asp page that pulls info from a DB when the page loads. It them puts the info into text boxes on the page that are editable by the user.
The only problem I have is say in the description text box it should read "HP Laserjet 5Si" , it always cuts the text off where it just says "HP" .. It does this on all the text boxes? I can't seem to figure out why it is doing it. Here is the sample code:
I would like to be able to take text from a field in my DB and shrink it down to about 50 letters. So say my field has 1000 letters in it i want to shorten what is in there so that just the first 50 letters will show up on the page.
Is the only difference between the Form collection & the QueryString collection is that the Form collection is sent through the headers whereas QueryString gets appended to the URL? If not, then what else are the differences between the two?
Daft question I'm sure but is it possible to pass information to a page via the Request.Form AND Request.Querystring at the same time?
I.E If I have a form with several text boxes and the URL includes a variable will the page it's being passed to be able to gather the information from both sources? Code:
I have a dynamically generated and FTP'd page that is sent to the server with a title of a song. Then when the user opens the page/site he or she will see the text in a marquee. What I want to do is create a IF Then Statement where it would look like the following:
I am getting a result like this: 'toh23'
and I want it to do either not show it or display and alternative text so...
<% if (TEXTSTRING) = "toh" then response.write("News") else response.write("Normal Text") end if %>
I have the if then else down but I have no clue how to split the text between the 'toh' and the '23'. It will always be toh and then a number but the number changes. I know you can split strings with commas and such but how about numbers?
so far it works fine. It shows the value in the text box on the page. I am trying to post this page with all the form fields to a new page that emails all the variables that are on this page. The form tag looks like
In orderform3.asp, i am requesting the values for all the form fields as follows before emailing all the fields to myself:
strBody = strBody & Request.Form("Account_Name") 'strbody is the variable that adds all the form fields to the body of the email strBody = strBody & vbCrLf strBody = strBody & Request.Form("Contact_Name") strBody = strBody & vbCrLf strBody = strBody & Request.Form("Template")
Here is the problem...I am getting the email with the values filled in except for "Template" and I cannot figure out why. Is there something that I am doing wrong? i have to mention that there is no DB behind this site...it is just a static web site with an email script in it.
I have a form that has approximately 7 text fields and 1 checkbox. Generally when this form is submitted(to itself BTW) it works fine, however, when the checkbox is only field that has been modified/clicked the form doesn't always submit. When it does work, a Stored procedure is passed form variables and updates to the db are made. When it doesn't, its as if the form wasn't submitted, it reloads and resets the page, but the stored procedure isn't triggered.
How do you make a form field's value be determined based on the page URL?I've seen sites that you can change the URL like this (given "UserName" is the name of the field):
Then when I clicked to visit this page, when it loaded, the value of the UserName field would be preset to baseballdude_.I've tried doing this for one of my sites, but it doesn't work. Is there some way of enabling this?
I have a form that users fill in, thefirst field is a username, which must be unique.Currently only when I attempt the Insert into the DB does the restaint inform the user that it already exists.Is there any way i can check , let say onblur, if that username exists, so that they dont have to complete the whole form before being informed?
I have an asp page that has a form and only 1 field which is know as the ID field.
I only want users to enter an Integer value in the field. If they enter anything else it should come up with a pop up box error and not allow them to process the page.
I'm trying to make a simple Feedback Form using that CDONTS thing I read about (in that "How to use CDONTS" thread). Every works like it should until I try to step it up a little and get the information from a Form... Code:
I am trying to create an upload form field in asp. Below is my code. When I try and access the form I get the following error. Does any one know whats wrong with my code the error I get is
We have a shared hosting plan (Windows-based) with GoDaddy.com. GD.com has a "generic" form mailer script (gdform.asp) that allows us to set up a "Contact Us" page, which, when the user clicks "Submit" sends an email to us.
I am a complete newbie re asp, but looking at the code, it looks to me as if a error is generated if any of the fields are left blank--which is good. I don't want to be getting emails that don't contain messages, or that don't contain a return email address.
However, submitting a completely blank form results in me getting an email with blank response fields.
Can you take a look at this code and tell me if it should be allowing blank fields to be submitted? Are there any changes that can be made? Code:
I would like to make two field in a for required fields. Do you all know a simple way to accomplish this? I can post form and any asp if needed( page is getting really huge).
I have a form field on an ASP page and was wondering if I can require the number that is entered to begin with a 0 or a 2.If the number starts with anything else,the user is notified to update the number correctly(Your [FormField] must begin with a 0 or a 2, Please update your entry).
Is there an ASP equivalent to Javascript's '...focus.();' that returns focus to a form field? I want to accept input from a user on a form.This input is to be databased and also unique. I want to check the user's input against what already exists in the database. If the input already exists.
I want to generate a pop up dialog box ala javascript and then when it's acknowledged, return focus to the form field.
I'm using MS database editor.When the db is updated ("submit") I want to send an email to an addrss in one of the fields.The db update function works well.
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to use an email-processing page for different forms.For example, having a feedback as well as a contact form page.When the user fills out the form I would like it to be processed on the next page,which will display all the completed fields as well as email them to the recipient.
I can do this with just one form,but what if I'd like to use the same form-processing script with a different page and then another without having to specify particular form fields.
This is done in CGI.I looked at Matt Wright's formmail script but I don't know if the same carries over to ASP.
I know that the order of from fields from a form post are somewhat random. But, what about fields that have the same name -
<input type="text" name="something" value=""> First Choice <input type="text" name="something" value=""> Second Choice <input type="text" name="something" value=""> Third Choice <input type="text" name="something" value=""> Fourth Choice
First = "bananna" Second = "orange" Third = "" Fourth = "apple"
Will the values, in the delimited list contained in Request.Form("something"), always be in the order they are in the form? That is - bananna, orange, , apple
I have a form where the user enters a customer name, then clicks the submit button which then adds it to a database. This works absolutely fine untill the name has an apostrophe in it.
eg when the name entered is O'Hanlon and its submitted, I get this error.....
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E14) Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''O'Hanlon'
I have a form F1, once submitted it goes into another form F2, I want the fields in F2 to be filled with the values the user filled out in F1. in php I would use the $_POST[] to get it, but I dont know nothing of asp
and from what I could find on the web, would this work?
and what if they accessed the page directly, rather than through a previous form, would it field appear blank? or do I have to have an if statement. also what if based on the F1 value I want to select (check) a checkbox/radiobutton or drop down menu in F2?
I have a asp form that has a dynamic drop-down box that a user selects a value from. Once the user makes a selection I use the onChange event to capture the selection and pass this value to a vbscript sub.
The sub then makes a adsi query using this value to retrieve additional information. This all works. I used a msgbox to display the retrieved value and it is correct. My problem is how do I update a field on the form with this retrieved value?
I'm trying to verify a request.form("blah") with a field (value) in a recordset taken from an Access Database. Basically what I'm trying to do is once this NUMBER is entered into the form object (textfield), check a database to see if this number has been used (i.e. in the database) and if so redirect them to an error page.
I thought this would be rtight, but doesn't seem to work
If rsTeddyCheck = Request.Form("PersonalID") then response.redirect ("Error.asp") Else process.asp End If
So I figured maybe it was something to do with the script tags so I tried using the <% %> tags instead and I got an error saying something like Microsoft VBScript runtime object required.
I' m getting a (0x80040E2F) error, if I submit my form, with blank textboxes to my update stored procedure. The stored procedure expect values, so how can I detect if a form field was empty. I've tried testing to see if the form field is null, blank and to count the characters, but I can't get it working. My SQL table allows nulls, so it's not that.
