Choosing Radio buttons on Submit.

[Castanz]

Hi All,

I am stuck on this one. If this were Access I would have no problems. I divided this into three pages. First page takes the information the date of the meals and the filter. Second page has the following code. The idea is to choose the radio button of the meal choice for each user. The only problem is when I try to request the information from the second page to the third. On the third page, I can't use

RS("Mealchoice")=request("mvalue & mcount")

or can I using a response.write?

I thought about storing the values in an array then passing them to the third page. Not sure how to pass an array from one ASP page to another.

Response.write "<form method='post' action='GroupAccessConfirm.asp'>"
MChoice1="Ham"
MChoice2="Turkey"
choice = Request("Mealrequested")
mcount = 0    
   Do While (Not RS.EoF) %>
      <%CurrMealCard = Rs("MealCard")%>
      <input type="text" readonly="READONLY" name="FirstName" size="15" maxlength="20" value="<%=Rs("FirstName")%>">
      <input type="text" readonly="READONLY" name="LastName" size="15" maxlength="20" value="<%=Rs("LastName")%>">
      <input type="text" readonly="READONLY" name="RateRank" size="6" maxlength="10" value="<%=Rs("RateRank")%>">
      <input type="hidden" readonly="READONLY" name="Command" size="10" maxlength="20" value="<%=Rs("Command")%>">
      <input type="text" readonly="READONLY" name="CurrMealCard" size="10" maxlength="20" value="<%=CurrMealCard%>">
      <%
	mcount = mcount + 1
	response.write "None:<input type='radio' name='Mvalue" & mcount & "' size='10' maxlength='20' checked value= 'None'> "
	response.write MChoice1 &_ 
	":<input type='radio' name='Mvalue" & mcount & "' size='10' maxlength='20' value=" &_
	MChoice1 & "'> "
	response.write MChoice2 &_ 
	":<input type='radio' name='Mvalue" & mcount & "' size='10' maxlength='20' value=" &_
	MChoice2 & "'><br>"
  
      Rs.MoveNext 
   Loop

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Al

Perhaps I'm missing something easy, but I am not sure exactly what your problem is. Can you please clarify? What I understand at this point is that you have information that you pass from page 1 to page 2 (presumably using a form and POST). However, you cannot pass that information from page 2 to page 3. Is that code you have above (the larger section) the relevant code on page 2 that you are trying to pass to page 3? If not, can we see the relevant code for page 2 that should be passed to page 3? And how are you attempting to call the information on page 3 (again, relevant code would be useful)? Thanks.

Thank you for replying.

Maybe it is easy, but I am stuck. I know how to retrieve one field

request("Mvalue1")

or if I knew how many I would retrieve

request("Mvalue1")
request("Mvalue2")
request("Mvalue3")
request("Mvalue4")

How would I retrieve an indeterminate amount of fields?

Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks again,
Al

Just iterate through the Request.Forms collection. See

It's been a while since I've done anything like this, but....

[tt][blue]
For Each RequestValue In Request.Form
If Left(RequestValue, 6) = "Mvalue" Then
Response.Write RequestValue & "=" & Request.Form(RequestValue) & "<br/>"
End If
Next
[/blue][/tt]

This may not be exactly right, but it should be close. If this does NOT work for you, then I would suggest a google search with the following terms [google]ASP For Each Request.Form[/google].

Hope this helps.

Ok, I think I see where you're going. You would have to do something similar to what you suggested earlier - using an array. You may be able to use the dictionary object (from my vague recollections of how it works, but I've never used it myself so I can't say for certain). But to generate the array, just use a for/next statement. Something akin to:

for each obj in request.form
  [COLOR=green]'create your array of values here of whatever you need.[/color]
next

Hey chops. That's exactly what I would have done.

George,

I would say that great minds think alike, but that would imply that I have one and that might be going a little too far in my case...

If you write mcount to a hidden form element then you wont have to wonder how many there are:[tt]
<input type="hidden" name="MaxCount" value="<%= mcount%>">

Nice to see that you all followed my earlier example! Must admit I was too lazy to write out a complete code solution though
