Is it possible to post form data and open an invisible window?
For example, in page1.as
<form action="page2.asp" method="POST"
It will post the form data from page1.asp to the server, and open page2.asp. But I dont want to make page2.asp invisible.
We've got a webserver with an ASP application on it that needs to be able to send e-mails when certain actions are performed. However, due to a funky network setup, the server is (and will continue) to be unable to send mail via SMTP, so, in the meantime, what we want to do is redirect the mail message to a formmail.cgi script on a Unix box.
Now, the e-mails have to be dynamic, so hard-coding scripts is out of the question, and there's no way the Unix box can talk to the database on the IIS box (It's a long, convoluted story, but that's the way it is). So, my question is, does anybody know off the top of your head what the protocol is for doing an HTTP-POST operation behind the scenes? Ideally, I want to write one global SendMail function, and just pass the Name/Address/Message variables into it.
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.
View Replies View RelatedThere are 2 ways of passing variable to another page: GET and POST
If i want to use Method GET, I jst need to do Response.Redirect "another.asp?id=abc"
What if I want to use Method POST, how to do it?
I want the user's input to be processed before post it to another page.
Here is the situation:
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 have IIS server installed on XP-pro. I also have Norton Internet
Security installed.
I can run simple ASP programs without any problem. But when I use forms
with post method and call an asp in action, it does not pass any data
to ASP.
Request.Form method on a form field does not return any value.
This code works on web hosting provider server, just does not work on
my workstation with my own IIS server. Code:
I've got a question regarding data retrieved via Post.
If i have a standard textfield within my form:
<input type="text" name="number" size="10">
and i submit the form with the textfield left blank, when i use:
Request.Form("number")
what data type will it return? I need to know the data type so i can check for "", null, nothing or something else.
Assume these scenarios:
1. The user is supposed to type in a number in the textfield
2. The user has no restrictions on what he can type in the textfield
I want to post the form data (http://server/page1.asp) to a modal dialog
window (http://server/modaldialog.asp) with a desired height 200px by width
200px.
Here's my attempts and problems:
Attempt #1) In http://server/page1.asp, it has code <form
action="http://server/modaldialog.asp" method="post" target="_blank">
In http://server/modaldialog.asp, it has code <body onBlur = "self.focus()">
It can produce modal dialog window modaldialog.asp, but I want to set the
width and height of modaldialog.asp.
Attempt #2) var sReturn = window.showModalDialog("modaldialog.asp", params,
"dialogHeight:200px; dialogWidth:200px;");
This is the effect I want. But this is not posting the form data to
modaldialog.asp. Any workarounds to my problems??

My form has mixed fields in it, one of them is a file field for picture upload when i submit my form via method="GET" i can retrieve my form data with Request.QueryString() method but as then I loose my file, but as soon as I switch to method="POST" and use Request.Form() method i get nothing unless I remove enctype="MULTIPART/FORM-DATA" at which point I loose mi file also... What is causing this? is there a different enctype i need to be using?
View Replies View Relatedi 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?
in past, i learnt from the book to post data by
action=post & input type=text
now the post data is not from user input
it is from a table which is generated by asp script
i wish to generate a table with a check box at each row.
when i select the check boxs, then the rows of the table will be posted to
another html page
any hints to me for doing this?
Secondly, how about if rows of the table will be posted to a input box on
another html page grateful if you could give me some hints.
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
View Replies View RelatedI 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.
temp file: item number description qty
permanent file: item description pcs price
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.

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.
Does anyone know a way to destroy these values ??

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.

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.

We've discovered a sticky little problem in one of our intranet based apps where the logon page can error out causing the user's uid and password to be visible in the returned post data.
e.g. "The Page Cannot be displayed"...."Technical information(for support personnel)"......"Post Data:MyUserName=BloggsJ&MyPassword=letMeIn....."
The page does contain error handling and the problem is extremely intermittent and revolves around write permissions/network connections to an Access database. I've tried to catch each possible error point in the code explicitly but this is proving impossible because of the sheer number of places it can occur. Code:
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've seen something on my logs that's not supposed to happen.pagea.htm has a form with a Select list called country as below:
<select name='Country' size='1'>
<option value='USA'>USA</option>
<option value='Canada'>Canada</option>
'lots more countries...
</select>
Page B has code that references request.form("country"),and assumes that this field is nonempty as it is coming from a select list.I saw an error caused by an empty string in this country variable
The User agent was IE6, and the pages appeared in the correct order in the IIS logs.pagea.htm (the page with the form) was requested with a GET method about a minute before the POST to pageb.asp, and no intervening pages were requested by that IP I would suspect AOL wierdness, but it's not an AOL IP.
I've always been able to find my answer in other posts. Which leads me to wonder if what I want to do can be achieved?
I need an xml object to post a form on my site without a user having to click submit.
The form it will be submitting will always be submitting to 1 specific page. The form element it submits will be a different string every time. When the form is fired off it will search for this string in the code of the page it has been sent to and then return to me whether it was found or not.
