I have a list with 17 rows with form values, where you can select multiple items with a checkbox and write in a text field on every row next to the checkbox, and I'm trying to insert the two values into the db but I only get what I have selected in the checkbox, not what I have written in the text field?
My formpage looks like this:
sql = "SELECT * FROM menu;"
set rs = conn.Execute(sql)
i = 0
do until rs.eof %>
<input type="text" name="newheadline" value="">
<input type="checkbox" name="menu_id<%=i%>" value="<% = rs("menu_id") %>">
<% i = i + 1
rs.movenext
loop %>
And on page2 I try to loop trough it and here I only get the value of the checkbox, not the value of the newheadline?
i = 0
do until i = 17
response.write (request.form("menu_id"&i))
response.write (request.form("newheadline"&i))
i = i + 1
loop
What am I missing? Thanks!
You write out your textbox like:
<input type="text" name="newheadline" value="">
But you try to read it like:
response.write (request.form("newheadline"&i))
You'll need to append the value of i onto each name attribute, exactly like you do with your checkbox:
<input type="text" name="newheadline<%=i%>" value="">

I am trying to get a value from a hidden input text box to another page, but it doesn't work. How to pass variable from hidden input box to another page?
Page1.asp
<input type="hidden" name="FormID" value="<% objRS("Form_id")%>
...
<input type="hidden" name="FormID" value="<%= nFormID %>">
<input type="button" value="Open Page2" onclick=openwin();"/>
Page2.asp
<%
iFormID = Request.Form("FormID")
sSQL = "select * from Form where Form_id = " & iFormID
When I click on the Button Open Page2, it doesn't get the value of FormID.
How do I fix it to get the FormID from Page1.asp?
Updated: when I tried to add a button with this JS, it won't get the variable from Page1.asp
I added this on page1.asp:
function openwin()
{window.open("Page2.asp","mywindow","width=500,height=400"):}
<input type="hidden" name="FormID" value="<%= nFormID %>">
<input type="button" value="Open Page2" onclick=openwin();"/>
Thanks.
Since it seems like you're trying to open up a pop up window, I've added a second answer, as you are not actually POSTing any data. if you want to use a pop up, the easiest way is to put the data in the query string, like so:
function openwin()
{window.open("Page2.asp?formID=" + document.frmReport.FormID.value, "mywindow","width=500,height=400"):}
now, i notice you're using a loop to generate the formIDs and using the same NAME for each field. so you'll need to loop through the set of fields, grab each ones value, and send it along as one string in the query string:
function openwin() {
var ids = '';
for( var index = 0; index < document.frmReport.FormID.length; index++ ) {
if( ids == '' )
ids += document.frmReport.FormID[ index ].value;
else
ids += ',' + document.frmReport.FormID[ index ].value;
}
window.open("Page2.asp?FormIDs=" + ids,"mywindow","width=500,height=400");
}
and on Page2.asp, you would do:
iFormIDs = Request.QueryString("FormIDs")
sSQL = "select * from Form where Form_id in ( " & iFormIDs & " ) "
You'll notice that I changed the sql to use the IN clause, that way you can get ALL records for a given set of formIDs, even if it's just one. This obviously doesn't take into account any security precautions to prevent sql injection, but this should get you started.
first, make sure your elements are in a form block with a METHOD of POST
second, your element
<input type="hidden" name="FormID" value="<% objRS("Form_id")%>
needs to be
<input type="hidden" name="FormID" value="<%= objRS("Form_id")%>" />
<%= is shorthand for Response.Write
so page1 would look like:
<form name="myForm" method="post" action="page2.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="FormID" value="<%= objRS("Form_id")%>" />
...
<input type="hidden" name="FormID" value="<%= nFormID %>">
<input type="submit" value="Open Page2" />
</form>
Need help. I want to save the items that are check in my checkbox to a Session.
What I'm doing is get the value of the items that are checked and store it in an array. Then I will assign that value as Session Name and assign a value of 1 to the session.
This is the code that I'm using but it only gets the first item that is checked.
dim checkboxList
checkboxList = request.Form("schedule")
checkboxList = split(checkboxList, ",")
for each i in checkboxList
Session(i) = 1
next
for example If I check A and B on my Checkbox I should get
Session("A")=1 and Session("B")=1
but the only thing i'm getting is Session("A")=1
I tried checking if I'm getting the right item on the my Array by Using this code and the data is correct.
dim checkboxList
checkboxList = request.Form("schedule")
checkboxList = split(checkboxList, ",")
for each i in checkboxList
response.write(i)
next
Here is my Html Code.
<form class="well" method="post" action="applicationSave.asp">
<div class="controls">
<input type="checkbox" id="onShifts" name="schedule" value="onShifts" <% if Session("onShifts") = 1 then response.Write("checked") end if %> /> On Shifts?<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="nightShifts" name="schedule" value="nightShifts" <% if Session("nightShifts") = 1 then response.Write("checked") end if %> /> Night Shifts?<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="partTime" name="schedule" value="partTime" <% if Session("partTime") = 1 then response.Write("checked") end if %> /> Part Time?<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="fullTime" name="schedule" value="fullTime" <% if Session("fullTime") = 1 then response.Write("checked") end if %> /> Full Time<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="holidays" name="schedule" value="holidays" <% if Session("holidays") = 1 then response.Write("checked") end if %> /> Holidays/Sundays?<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="projectBasis" name="schedule" value="projectBasis" <% if Session("projectBasis") = 1 then response.Write("checked") end if %> /> Project Basis
</div>
</form>
This is because values delimited with ", " (comma-space), instead "," only.
So, before working with array make "trimming" items:
Dim i
For i = 0 To UBound(checkboxList)
checkboxList(i) = Trim(checlboxList(i))
Next
Another way - write Session(Trim(i)) = 1 in for statement.
BTW: Commonly, your code is unsafe. E.g, you have some session bool variable Session("IsAuthorized"). Visitor can send request to your .asp file with value schedule=IsAuthorized...
I have a large recordset being displayed to a user. Each record has an edit button which allows users to edit various data in the record. Certain records have more fields than others so the edit form has various different names and number of fields.
For example one record would produce the following if the edit button is clicked:
<form id="frm1" name="frm1" method="post" action="changeJob.asp?jobNo=1101&jQueryID=1" target="_blank">
<input type='text' name='Qty13' value='8' size="3" maxlength="3"/>
<input type="submit" name="btnFrm1" id="button" value="Submit" />
</form>
However another record would generate this:
<form id="frm2" name="frm2" method="post" action="changeJob.asp?jobNo=1102&jQueryID=2" target="_blank">
<input type='text' name='Qty15' value='8' size="3" maxlength="3"/>
<input type='text' name='Qty16' value='8' size="3" maxlength="3"/>
<input type='text' name='Qty17' value='8' size="3" maxlength="3"/>
<input type='text' name='Qty18' value='8' size="3" maxlength="3"/>
<input type="submit" name="btnFrm2" id="button" value="Submit" />
</form>
As above, each of the input fields is assigned its unique name eg "Qty14" and its form has its own name eg "frm2". These need to be unique because I have some jQuery plus and minus buttons which allow users to increment the quantities.
In changeJob.asp how can I determine which fields are being submitted where they have unique names and number? I can get the form name using a hidden field easily enough.
I am trying to achieve something like:
For Each field in frm1
** Do SQL Update ** Next
Any guidance would be most appreciated :)
Just iterate all the form collection and look for keys starting with the desired name:
Dim strSQL, curValue, blnFirst
blnFirst = True
strSQL = "Update MyTable Set "
For Each key In Request.Form
If Left(key, 3)="Qty" Then
'prevent nasty hacking
If IsNumeric(Replace(key, "Qty", "")) Then
curValue = Request.Form(key)
If IsNumeric(curValue) Then
If Not(blnFirst) Then
strSQL = strSQL & ", "
End If
strSQL = strSQL & key & "=" & curValue
blnFirst = False
End If
End If
End If
Next
If blnFirst Then
'no values, show alert of some sort...
Else
strSQL = strSQL & " Where [filter here]"
'...
End If
This will build dynamic query based on the submitted values.
If each value need separate update the code becomes more simple, hope you can change it yourself. :)
I would love to help. Needing just a bit more info because I don't want to tell you stuff you already know. Can you tell me if you have code already to fill the form... as in... is this form for editing new and/or old data or only new records?
Also, have you thought of having one form but then have your server-side code (ASP) generate input boxes dynamically? This is my recommendation because having more than one form in this case (unless I'm missing something) is ... inelegant.
You can download this zip file which has two asp pages in it that demonstrate a more dynamic approach: http://www.oceanmedia.net/files/hk_config.zip
I have a checkbox
<input type="checkbox" name="chkNGI" id="prod_ngi_sn" value="1">
When it is checked I pass the value 1, but when it is not checked any value is passed.
I have to pass the value 0.
I've tried
<input type="checkbox" name="chkNGI" id="prod_ngi_sn" <%if prod_ngi_sn.checked then value="1" else value="0" end if%>>
But didn't work.
tks
Checkboxes only pass values when ticked. You need logic on the server side to accommodate that.
Dim chkNGI
chkNGI = Request("chkNGI") & ""
If chkNGI = "" Then
chkNGI = "0"
End If
<script>
function calcParam() {
var checked = document.getElementById("prod_ngi_sn").checked;
if (checked)
document.getElementById("hiddenNGI").value = "1";
else
document.getElementById("hiddenNGI").value = "0"; }
</script>
<input type="hidden" name="chkNGI" id="hiddenNGI">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkNGI" id="prod_ngi_sn" onClick="calcParam()">
You can try this single line solution
Information: RS=Recordset Object
<input type="checkbox" <%If RS("ColumnName")=True Then Response.Write(" checked='checked' ")%> name="tableColumn" value="1" >
I know this question is old, but I recently had to refactor some legacy code for a company in Classic ASP, and ran into this problem. The existing code used a hidden form field with the same name as the checkbox and looked for either "false" or "false, true" in the results. It felt kludgy, but the code also performed actions based on dynamically named checkbox fields with prefixes, so inferring "false" from a missing field would introduce different complications.
If you want a checkbox to return either "0" or "1", this technique should do the trick. It uses an unnamed checkbox to manipulate a named hidden field.
<html>
<body>
<% If isempty(Request("example")) Then %>
<form>
<input type="hidden" name="example" value="0">
<input type="checkbox" onclick="example.value=example.value=='1'?'0':'1'">
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
<% Else %>
<p>example=<%=Request("example")%></p>
<% End If %>
</body>
</html>
Create a hidden input with the name "chkNGI".
Rename your current checkbox to something different.
Add handled for onClick on the checkbox and using a small javascript function, depending on the state of the checkbox, write 0 or 1 in the hidden input.
As an example,
<script>
function calcParam() {
var checked = document.getElementById("prod_ngi_sn").checked;
if (checked)
document.getElementById("hiddenNGI").value = "1";
else
document.getElementById("hiddenNGI").value = "0";
}
</script>
<input type="hidden" name="chkNGI" id="hiddenNGI">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkNGI" id="prod_ngi_sn" onClick="calcParam()">
Your solution in post to saving page;
save.asp
<%
' connection string bla bla
' RS = Recordset Object
If Request.Form("tableColumn")=1 Then
RS("ColumnName") = 1
Else
RS("ColumnName") = 0
End If
' other columns saving process bla bla bla

I have 2 very simple pages, an HTML page and a classic ASP page .. the html page has a form which calls (and sends) the data to the ASP form (which then prints out the data)
The problem is I'm not getting the value of the radio button, I'm simply just getting "on".
Here is the html:
<form action="form.asp" method="post">
<strong>Gender:</strong>
<input type="radio" value"male" name="gender">Man
<input type="radio" value"female" name="gender">Woman<p></p>
<strong>Size:</strong>
<input type="text" width="20" name="size" size="4"><p></p>
<strong>Color:</strong>
<select size="1" name="color">
<option>blue</option>
<option>green</option>
<option>black</option>
</select><p></p>
<input type="submit" value="Send Order">
</form>
and here is the ASP
<%
Dim strgen, strsize, strcol
strgen = Request.form("gender")
intsize = Request.form("size")
strcol = Request.form("color")
Response.write "Your gender: " & strgen & "<br />"
Response.write "Your size: " & intsize & "<br />"
Response.write "The color you ordered: " & strcol & "<br />"
%>
Like I said, all I'm getting for "strgen" is "on" ...
There's typos in your code, missing equals sign.
value"male"
should be
value="male"
Because the value was ignored it was returning the default value of "on"
Try using an html validator as www.htmlvalidator.com. This site offers a free one which is good (I'm using the professional version myself).
