ASP :: Insert <br /> From Textarea Form Submission

Form Submission
What i'm trying to do is have a form submit when the contents of a select menu is changed. The following code that i am trying is not working.

<select size="1" name="name" onChange=
"
<script type=""text/javascript"" language=""JavaScript"">
Document.formName.Submit();
</script>
"

Form Submission
I have little to no experience with ASP but I need a form that submits to an MS Access DB. I have made my form (with dependencies based on previous questions) and need it to submit to a DB. I have found samples and can't even get the samples (pre-written proven to work) to work on my PC. I thought it was lack of IIS but after installing that, still not working. When submitting, generally the ASP code shows rather than it actually running the ASP page.

Form Submission
I have a payments page that also has name & address info. The user clicks the "Proceed to Payment" button which sends them (and the form info) to WorldPay.
What I want to do is save the name & address info into a cookie. I know what the cookie code is, my question is this...how do I invoke my cookie code and then send the form info to the secure server by one single click of the "Proceed to Payment" button?

Form Submission
I use the same code to enter a password to forward on to a secure area of my intranet.
I've used the same code quite a few times with no problems until now.
Basically I enter the password if I click the submit button it works fine.
However if after I have entered the password I just click Enter (or Return) it refreshes the page rather than submits the form.Has anyone come across this problem before ?

Form Submission
I am using different buttons as i nees to each button to to do a different action in my case the variable prev is not being set or passed on to the page i submit , how do i ensure this variable is passed on.I,ve pasted the code below

<input type="button" name="prev" value="previous" onClick="document.getElementById('theForm').action='basic.asp';document.getElementById('theForm').submit();">

Form Submission
i'm trying to find a way of submitting a form to two different pages depending on the user input .

Submission Form
I'm currently using select case for my asp pages to add, edit, view and delete records......however, I see the limitations of using select case, like I can't use the same value name for multiple buttons, like 'Submit'......

is there any other way to support the multi-task (add, edit and so on) on an asp page instead of using select case?

ASP & Form Submission
I have a very large HTML form (with about 50 fields) that's being
submitted to an ASP page via the "POST" method. I don't use "GET"
because the data would probably exceed the limit allowed in the query
string.

Anyway, this is probably irrelevant, but this form gets submitted to a
SQL Server 2000 DB.

This form has been working for awhile now. I went in and added a few
if/else statements here and there and when I tried to submit the form
for a test, I get an error. Code:

Form Upon Submission
I'm currently doing a school project on designing an online application leave system for a company. I'm using dreamweaver MX, server language ASP VB script to do this as I'm not well-versed in programming.

Right now, I've gotten the form up but am experiencing trouble in trying to print the form out upon clicking of the Submit button. I can't figure out how it is possible to transfer the data in the form to a printable version and then print it out. Btw, the information collected in the form will be stored in Microsoft Access database.

Form Submission Hangs
When I submit my form to the same page its on, the browser hangs up with lengthy strings in my "textarea field."
It won't take anything over about 200 - 250 chars.
Right now I have Request.Querystring for each element of the form. I've tried just Request and it does the same thing. I also tried Request.Form and it doesn't capture the values.However, as far as the database field, i have a VARCHAR(8000), the max the datatype can hold, so that I can post, if necessary, giant news articles.

Form Submission Problem
I have an ASP page that displays records from a table, and
allows you to add, update and delete. There is a form with
one button that does adds and updates, and a second button
for deletes.

What I want to do is, instead of having the 'action' of the
form be something like:

action="updateUser.asp?mode=update"

I want to use the onClick property of Add/Update and Delete
buttons to set a value in a hidden field in the table, and NOT
have a query string, ie: action="updateUser.asp"

The problem is that I have an 'If' statement to determine if
I need to do an add/update/delete or just display the records
and form:

If (Request.Form("txtAction") = "update" Or
Request.Form("txtAction") = "delete") Then

do some stuff... Code:

Preventing A 2nd Form Submission
How do people go about preventing the user from submitting a form for a 2nd time? For example, the user submits a form, clicks on the back button, and the submits the form again. I have used various techniques in the past (depending on circumstances) but I'd be interested in the techniques you guys currently use.

Automated Form Submission
most websites make use of CAPTCHA to prevent automated Form submission. give me examples of how automated Form submission can be achieved? It's not that I intend to do some nefarious activities; rather I don't understand how can automated Form submission be done other than the website developer coding it (for e.g. using JavaScript to automatically post a Form, say, after 2 minutes).

Iframes Form Submission
Big.asp includes an iframe called small.asp. Small.asp has a form. How can i make that form to be submitted to big.asp? Because if I simpli point the form to big.asp, it would open a big.asp into the original big.asp .

Form Email Submission
Each mailer component has different properties and methods available, and each should have documentation available. That's where you'll solve your coding, it sounds like you're trying to use a method that doesn't exist in the mailer object you're using. There are email sample codes at www.w3schools.com among other places.

Sending Email After Form Submission
Can somebody tell me the link that have code that sends email to the user after form submission with verification key?

I would like to do email verification after form submission ....

Emailing The User After Form Submission (CDO)
I have these email forms (using CDO) that email the content of a form to different people in our organization. Now I'd like to also email the user after they initially submit the form to confirm that we've received their information and advise them of the next steps.

My problem is that I'm trying to create 2 email instances on 1 asp page I think... which I guess is 1 session?? I'm kinda lost. How can I generate two seperate emails from one form submission? Of course, my first attempt was to just copy the original email code and change the variable names... but that doesn't work... it gets stuck on setting up the CDO config.....

Generate Email From Form Submission
I have a form on my ASP 3.0 web site and I need to monitor submissions.

Is it possible to generate an email upon form submission?

If so, how do I invoke the email functionality from an ASP 3.0 page?

Multiple Emails In Form Submission
I am having a problem with a form that I created. (Done in ASP)

What I am trying to accomplish is this:

A form gets filled out on the web.
The form then gets submitted to at least 2 email addresses, sometimes 3 or 4.

I have noticed that the form makes it to the first 2 email addresses listed, but never any more than that.

Here is the part of the code where I am adding the email addresses:

.To = "email1@address.com;email2@address.com"
'.From = Request.Form("emailfrom") - This line is commented out
.From = "email1@address"
.Subject = "Lease Application - Lease Rep"

That code seems to work fine and the 2 recipients get the form data.

When I add more email addresses to the .to section, it never gets to those recipients. (I am using Semi-Colons to seperate the email addresses)

Here is how I have been adding extra emails to the form:

.To = "email1@address.com;email2@address.com;email3@customer.com"
'.From = Request.Form("emailfrom") - This line is commented out
.From = "email1@address"
.Subject = "Lease Application - Lease Rep"

When I add any more than 2 emails, the form never gets to those intended recipients.

Converting An ASP Form Submission To A VBScript
I have a form which submits to my ASP page, which uses the Persits ASPupload. When using the form, it works great. I want to run the submission from a program on a client instead of through IE. I am having trouble converting the form to VBS. Here is the form: Code:

Form Validation Before Submission To Page
I have a timesheet type form that has 40 different row - each row has two dropdowns, one for a project and one for a task, and a dropdown box for each day of the week. Once a project and task has been selected, hours spent on that task each day of the week are entered into the text boxes.

What I would ideally like to do is, before I send this page for processing on my asp page (which involves saving the data back to the database), I'd like to check whether or not the user has entered the same project/task combination on multiple rows.....the dropdowns on each row are named project1-project40, task1-task40, mon1-mon40 etc.

I'm using VBScript for the server side scripting, but I'll happily incorporate a section of Javascript code if that will offer me a simpler solution.

Firewalls Block Form Submission
I have a wizard that teaches kids how to write legislative bills. It is a series of 5 screens that forwards each page's entries to the next before proceeding to the next screen. All five screens worth of data are then inserted into the db on the final submit.

I am getting rare reports that on the submit of the final edit screen the entire data entry disappears. I have not been able to duplicate the problem here and it only has happened to 2 of 300 entries that I am aware of so far. Could this be a firewall issue or a browser settings issue of some sort?

Form Submission With Same Text Fields
I have 3 fields in my form and one of them called ID with multiple text fields e.g (there are 10 text fields for ID) and when you submit the form all the 10 ID's should be submitted to the DB for that particular record with a single space inbetween the 10 ID's. Can any one tell me how this is possible.

ASP Scripted XML Form Submission With Type=file
Have been struggling over the last 2 days trying to submit an XML form through to 3rd party application. Have tried XMLHTTP, and ServerXMLHTTP, and these are all good for normal form input types but i need to submit a input type of file called 'XML', to a resource which I cant control how it processed it.

Anyone have any ideas of how to do this, I can save and open an XML document from a the dbase created string, but when I send the serverXMLHTTP variable XML = contents of the file it doesnt get processes as a noraml XML document.

Have a look at the function I have, which submits but doesnt see the submitted variable as an XML document. Code:

Formatting HTML Email From Form Submission?
All of my previous web page work has been done with .html and Cold Fusion. My new host does not support cold fusion but does have ASP 3.0 and ASP.Net 1.1. They've told me that I have to use CDO.Sys for sending email. I've spent the past 3 days doing all the research I can find but most of the examples assume a basic knowledge of ASP (which I am severly lacking in).

I have a simple .html form (4 fields) that currently DOES get sent through email (although it is sent as plain text). I would like to be able to send an email that is formatted into html (allowing me to use tables, images, etc.

Here is what I have so far (I've commented out the "text" based part and am trying to send as an html email now).

<% @ Language="VBscript" %>
<% Option Explicit %> .....

How To Handle Invalid Entries In Form Submission
Does anybody have a nice method of forcing a user to enter a value into a
form using asp?

I think the best is to have a popup when they hit submit that will stay on
the same page and then just alert the user to enter something in so and so
text box.

Asp Database Search Form Submission Problem
im working on a database driven website that uses an access database of links and search keywords that users can search through to find a particular page within my site. the search box is in a table and the results come up in an iframe without the page refreshing aside fromt the iframe itself. at the moment when i type a search into the text field and press enter the results come up as i want them to within the iframe.

however if i press the search button next to the text field section of the form as opposed to pressing enter the database does not find any results yet the no results found error still appears within the iframe. i have tried the same searches and pressed enter and they work but as soon as i try to click the search button they do not.

here is the search form code so any of you geniuses out there who can help me can see if any code is missing: Code:

Send Form Submission Data To Another Server
A website has a form with the first line as written below:

<form METHOD="POST" action="submission_form.asp" name="FrontPage_Form1" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

Can I, if I match the field names used, submit my form and have it sent to their server as if the submission had come from their server?

Could I use:
<form METHOD="POST" action="http://www.example.com/submission_form.asp" name="FrontPage_Form1" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

and I match all of the field names? Would that work?

Could I harm their "database", or whatever they are doing with the form submission?

Since you are going to ask "why". My reasons are noble enough. It would just make things much easier.

Form Submission And Thankyou With User Information
I have a query form on my website. Once the user enters data and submits it, it should be e-mailed to a specific e-mail address and then should generate a page that shows to the user that has been entered by them. For this I am using three pages:

1. enquiry.asp 

2. email.asp 

3. thankyou.asp 

Now the problem is, when i use the redirect, the mail doesn't go any where and lands in the thankyou page without any user data. Whereas, when i take off the redirect, the data gets mailed.

So alternately, I used the hidden field method in email.asp page to pass the data to thankyou.asp. This again doesnt work when redirect is given. When i take off the redirect and give a submit button instead in the email page, it works fine.

How do I send the user to the thankyou page without using the submit button again on the email page and still show him all the data that they have entered. And at the same time have the data e-mailed to my mail id. Code:

Textarea Form Element
I have noticed on some forms that when a user submits the form and there is a textarea element that a lot of extra whitespace is getting submitted at the end of the elements content. What's going on.

Form/input Tags In A Textarea
I am designing a website for a friend that has a backend database that holds information on all the stock they have and this gets displayed onto the page no problems.

The only problem I have is when they add new items to the database, a part of the form is a textarea and in this teaxtarea they copy generated code from paypal (a form that is generated by Paypal as a add to basket button).

The problem I have got is that if you try to add this textarea to the database field what you get is a image of the paypal button and no code.

I have tried the replace function, concatenated it in comments etc but all i get is a blank field or a image of the button.

Saving Code In A Database Via Use Of A Textarea Form
i have built an interface for template making. i am using a simple form with a text area and submit button to save the code, i want to show in a template page, into the database.
I also use the same textare to view any code saved to the database for a specific page.

THE PROBLEM - i have to save a

response.write("<textarea..............></textarea>")
the minute i paste it into the textarea it saves it fine but shows it wrong as if once it reads the </textarea> in my saved code the main page 'closes' the main textarea . i.e. the rest of my saved code is shown as part of the page - and its not pretty!

Display VbCrLf's From Textarea To Textarea
how to dispaly text from a text area on a page as page copy (using the replace function)

How do I display this text inside another textarea, holding formatting? All variations of 'what I thought would work' do not.

I am using the following function:

Function DisplayMemo(theText)
DisplayMemo = ""
on error resume next
DisplayMemo = CStr(theText)
if (len(DisplayMemo) > 0) Then
DisplayMemo = Replace(DisplayMemo, vbCrLf, "<br>", 1, -1, 1)
end if
End Function

calling it like:

<textarea cols=119 name=ownSubmitted rows=7>" & DisplayMemo(getInfo(0)) & "</textarea>

NOTE: getInfo(0) is a variable holding my value. Yes the value is there. It is showing the text I want, however the <br>'s are rendered inside the text area?

Insert Textboxes In The Form
Someone have a script to insert dynamic items in the form?
For example...

In my default form have 5 textboxes... I need to put a button to users to "add new item"... and add textboxes to the form.

Insert Form Fields
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.

Pass Hidden Form Field Value To Another Form Field To Insert In Db
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:

Check Entered Form Values And Insert Them To Db
I have this page set up at www.kevinhall.org/headcount/headcount.asp
what is the easiest way to check where the user has entered a value
and submit the row to the db. Maybe i'm going about the form wrong.
Each box has its one name but I was hoping i could get around using a
request.form on each one and useing the isEmpty. Its so tedious and
non efficient there has to be an easier way.. Maybe with .net possibly?

ASP Application Form To Insert Records Into SQL Database
I have a project where i have to use an html asp application form to insert records into an sql database. My problem is finding resources online to practice with to learn, i have basic knowledge of ASP and have attended the microsoft 1 week course on Administering a 2000 SQL Database and i have designed a few small sites so i know html and javascript. I have the database side covered its just the VB code to take the form values and post them to the sql database.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of sample codes to play around with as i cant seem to find any which relate to this project.

INSERT Multiple Records From Checkbox Form With Unique Ids
I have an .asp page with a form to copy job responsibilites form one
job to another. It is a hotmail type interface with checkboxes
besides each responsibility. After submitting, it should copy the
selected resp's to a different job. After that it should renumber
that job's responsibilities.

This is the code I am using now to copy:

copySQL4 = "INSERT INTO
jambue.RESP(POSCODE,IDCODE1,IDCODE2,RESP_NUM,RESP) SELECT '" & id & "'
POSCODE,'" & dept & "' IDCODE1,'" & unit & "' IDCODE2, '999' RESP_NUM,
RESP FROM jambue.RESP WHERE (POSCODE = '" & POSCODE & "' AND IDCODE1 =
'" & sourceDept & "' AND IDCODE2 = '" & sourceUnit & "') AND RESP_NUM
IN (" & Request.Form("chk") & ")"

As you can see the value '999' is hardcoded in there as the new
Responsibility Number to go with the copied responsibility. I use
this because there are no jobs with that many responsibilities. This
works fine if I only select one resp. to copy over. But if I select
more than one that part still runs fine but I get an error with the
below. It says too many rows would be affected. Of course, this must
be because there are now at least 2 responsibilites with the same
RESP_NUM. Code:

Trying To Insert Multiple Records Into Database When Form Is Submitted
I'm trying to insert mutiple records into my database when the form is submitted.. My form has 4 textfields; serial1, price1, serial2 and price2.

I would like to insert serial1 and price1 as one record, then serial2 and price2 as the second record. I know some sort of loop has to be used to achieve this but i'm new to this and I don't know what to do...

I tried to do it with dreamweaver but it does not seem possible and the dreamweaver code seems really complicated I've only been able to insert only the first row(serial1,price1).. since I only have 2 fixed rows I guess what I need to do is to get dreamweaver to do it twice in a loop. Code:
