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?
When I create a form with hiddenfields and then view it in an ASP web page the following shows where the hiddenfields are on the form- "> -this appears for every hiddenfield is there anyway these can be hidden from view on the web 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
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.
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">
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 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?
Is there anyway of making the hidden fields not show in the editor?
I use alot of hidden fields and it confuses the design if there are lots shown on the page. I have written validation for this site and need to hide the hidden fields i have created. I have searched google and there is some information on this, but it is very confusing.
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 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:
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?
Is there a way with ASP or Java to hide the form action part of a form? I have someone that has found the location of a script by looking at the source of one of my forms.
They run some type of script that trys to post bogus info from 6:00 in the morning till 12:00 in the afternoon. Although it gets denied due to wrong input by the user, it sends administrative emails that are annoying (hundreds). If the user only saw the client side (below), they could not do it. Is there a way? Code:
I received the following bit of code from a friend in need of help. I've done all I can do so far and need assistance with the rest. This code is supposed to get a web page and grab the necessary info from it so it can be used. After the page is grabbed I need to grab the values of 3 "hidden" input fields in a form.
The fields look like this: <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="VARIABLE1" VALUE="CD5E56C4E89CFBE470D8B098C6897BABB6C037FD784765B0"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="VARIABLE2" VALUE="CD5E56C4E89CFBE4B1B8B011899A4B44CCC7B734481F19ED67745C61F9EF16D0"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="VARIABLE3" VALUE="D8F1A38F99B9320B">
The code I have looks like this. I need help getting started on how to search thru the retrieved web page to get the above values.
If someone knows of better code than what I have so far please feel free to enlighten me with it. Code:
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:
Would anyone be able to give some guideance in ASP code as to how I would repeat a section of input fields in a form based upon the number of guests that are attending an event?
Basically, what needs to happen is if 3 guests are attending, I need the Name, address, city, state fields to repeat so they can be filled in with information.
Then all of the information from the whole form is submitted which returns an email to the administrator of the event.
I have an asp page which has a number of form fields on it (about 50). 2/3rds of these fields are used to store username (windows username) and date (todays date). I want these fields to be locked so the user cannot enter any info into them. The infor will be grabbed from the current user and the current date.
However, I only want these fields to be populated only when the left most field is changed. Once the fields have been populated the username and date fields will change with however is logged in and the new date.
I have a form that will be filled out by users, what I would like to do is when the user selects a state from a dropdown list i want to have the City field show select options based on their state. I know this can be done but I dont remember how.
next response.write(myVariable) The problem with that is that response.write(myVariable) only prints the last field in the form.
I know that if I move the response.write(myVariable) INSIDE of the loop it will print correctly but I am not trying to print the form fields BUT I AM TRYING to store them in ONE variable.
Code to email form data via ASP. Forced to use CDOSYS by 2003 server at host. It sends an email fine, but the form data is missing. Where my going wrong? Could it be the html file's form actuating the .asp file? Could it be an enctype issue? Or bad ASP syntax... Code:
I have about 30 names of workers (and their IDs in hidden fields, that depend on their departments) in one form, beside them there is one dropdown list for each worker, with same items. I want to select item from dropdown list for each worker, that will write item ID in another hidden field... and then I want to submit worker's ID, ID from dropdown list etc....into another .asp page and sql db. If I use next way : <% FOR EACH name IN Request.Form Response.Write("<BR>") Response.Write(Request.Form(name)) NEXT %> I get only values of IDs from dropdown lists. But I need workers' IDs, too.
how can I send the whole form using the script below, without listing every NAME of the form. Basically I wondered if you can just put a certain code in that will send all the fields of the form without putting each NAME of the fields down indiv individualy??
My forms Name is 'conf', so I was wondering if there was a code like SENDWHOLEFORM="conf", (I know it obviously won't be that, but just to put the point across!)
<% DIM strNAME, Mailer strFirstName = Upload.Form("NAME")
I have about 30 worker names (and their IDs in hidden fields) in one form, beside each worker I have a dropdown list with same items. When I select an item from dropdown list its ID is written in another hidden field. I want to submit values from hidden fields into another .asp page and sql db. If I use :
<% FOR EACH name IN Request.Form Response.Write("<BR>") Response.Write(Request.Form(name)) NEXT %>
I get only values from dropdown lists IDs. how to loop through all fields and get IDs of workers, too.
