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:
View RepliesI want to pass ASP returned values via hidden form fields...
Here is a simpler demo of my what I am trying to do....
Page containg asp values in hidden fields of a form:
(input.asp)
<html>
<body>
<form method = "post" action="ad.asp">
<input type = "hidden" value = "adski" name = "ad1">
<input type = "hidden" value = ""<%= WeekDayName(Weekday(Date)) %>"" name="ad2">
<input type = "submit" value="submit" name = "submit">
</body>
</html>
Output page, showing passed ASP values:
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?
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:
Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6
20 Fields 20 Fields 20 Fields 20 Fields 20 Fields 100 Hidden
20 Hidden 40 Hidden 60 Hidden 80 Hidden Write to DB
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?
I have a query on a page that displays the results of a recordset. Each row has a check box that has the table ID associated with the row of data.
I am trying to figure out how do I send every row checked to another page and have that page know the ID's that were checked so the next page can query the table for those ID's and fill out a submission form. I know the form fields I can write so it dynamically names the value based on the script, that part is easy, but trying to figure out how to have the script accept multiple ID's so it can go through each and display the results is not.
Now this is simple if I am just sending one ID to the next page, I can just use a "Post" and append a ?id=xxx to the URL and then do a request.querystring for the ID. Where I am confused is trying to send multiple ID = 's to the next page so it reads more then one ID if more then one was checked on the previous page which 99% of the time it will be.
HERE IS MY MAIN QUESTION:
What should I look up to point me in the right direction to create a classic VBScript/ASP code to parse through the ID's that were checked on the previous page and have the next page query each ID for the data?
I can pretty much figure out how if I know what I am looking to do. I was just looking for some sort of direction that I can pursue to understand how do do this task. What is it I am trying to do? IS there a term or set of terms I need to consider looking up to get examples so I can tweak and write it from there?

View Replies View Relatedhow 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.

View Replies View RelatedI 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

This hidden field value is not being parsed in formmail.pl - any suggestions why this will not work?
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.
document.forms[0].Update.value='yes';
document.myForm.submit;
in a routine.
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">
is there any Request object's method that could calculate the count of particular hidden fields, the ones that have a 'item' in their name:
<input type="hidden" name="item1" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="item3" value="20">
<input type="hidden" name="item5" value="30">
<input type="hidden" name="somethingelse" value="40">
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 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?
Is there anyway of making the hidden fields not show in the editor?

View Replies View Relatedi have two asp pages, one collecting value in a for the other displaying those values.

I have a search option on my website, which should perform a search on 4 fields, as follows:
tblNews
headline
content
tblDatabank
filename
description
It only needs to return matches which are an exact match of their search criteria. For instance, searching for "I am here" would return a record which contained "I am here", but not just "I" or "I am" etc.
I need to return all these records as part of one recordset preferably, as I want to be able to order them etc., though I imagine you may suggest I use an array somehow to merge two recordets etc., then reorder them?

View Replies View RelatedI am trying to pass variables using a form. This page is a simple page that is used when an Admin is trying to delete a message from our message board.

View Replies View RelatedI have multiple pages based on a template (using Dreamweaver MX). This template is split in two parts (div); a menu area and an info (main) area. Each area contains a form. In the menu area form I have different form elements which determine the content of the info area (e.g. a combobox controlling which page is loaded).
Two of these elements are text fields holding dates. I need to fill the info area with a table of N rows, where N is the numbers of days between the two dates. As far as I know, the page has to be submitted to the server with these date and generated serverside. What is the best approach when I want to display result on the same page which submits the dates?
I have a form that has first name, last name, and training title fields. When a user submits that form, it goes into a database. In that database, I have a users table and a course table. But in the course table I have 7 different courses.

It is common with form collection to ASP that only one form is submitted to the server at any one time. The webmaster can save the information submitted right away.However when many forms are submitted at once, the prior data are deleted to let the new data be carried in the ASP.How can this problem be solved with ASP? Is this a limitation with ASP?Is CGI a better way of form data collection?

I have two ASP pages payment.asp:
For customers to fill in payment/card details (pre-populating details if
details submitted were invalid and user had to re-fill in details)
confirmorder.asp:
Display the credit card details in hidden fields and also the order details
from Database
My question is:
1) If payment.asp submit to confirmorder.asp, then
1.1) I could get confirmorder.asp to display card details in hidden fields
BUT
1.2) But if card details are invalid how could I return user to payment.asp
with card details prepopulated??
1.2.1) If I Response.Redirect, nothing would be pre-popualting (unless I put
in details in Query string, which is not what I wanted for security reasons)
2) If payment.asp submit to payment.asp then
2.1) I could get page to pre-populate details on payment.asp if card details
are invalid BUT
2.2) How could I direct user to confirmorder.asp back to payment.asp with
details pre-populated
1.2.2) If I Response.Redirect, hidden fields cannot be populated by reading
in Request.form!
