changing form values

[vasah20]

Hey -
I don't think you can do this - but I'm just making sure.

Is there any way to change the contents of a submitted form?

eg:
Can I do something like:

Request.Form("myel&quot = newvalue

thanks

I don't know if you can actually re-set the value of a form field, but you can use a variable to make the value whatever you wish.

For example:

myel = Request.Form("myel&quot
myel = newvalue

Hope that helps. (Actually with the example above, you could eliminate the first statement since you don't seem to be interested in the actual form field value.)

I think that is the only way to do it (the way khazmir said it)

no actually - it's because of a third party 'cash register' component that we're implementing here.

that component reads in form values, and one of those values that it takes in is an order-id. I'm trying to be able to generate a new order-id for an order, in case the user tries to hit refresh.

In retrospect it's a good thing that I can't do it, because that would open up the door for too many false or repeated orders

thanks anyways -

Are u tring to modify this in HTML or in ASP pages?
Try to use Response.Redirect to another page witch changes the value of Request.Form and then come back...
