How do you gather form results using CLIENT side VBscript???
I've tried everything I know, request.form("somevar"), request.querystring("somevar"), even just request("somevar").... I keep getting errors on the request object. Is there a different object to use in the client side environment other than REQUEST?

I'll probably also need advice on how to gather the url field contents. I know in server side script it's request.querystring("somevar"), but that ain't workin' in client side.....

Thanks!!

There is no request object in the client side . U need to use form object for it as :

document.form("formname").somevar.value

gives u the value.

Didn't work. Give a "Object doesn't support this property or method: 'document.form'" error.

Here's the two pages that I've got. The first is the form, the second is the form hanlder:
===================================================
*** PAGE 1: test.html ***

<html>
<form name=form1 method=post action=test2.html>
Name: <input type=text name=vname>
<br><br>Email: <input type=text name=email>
<br><input type=submit value=GO>
</form>
</html>



*** PAGE 2: test2.html ***

<html>

<b>Form results:</b><blockquote>

<script language=VBScript>

vname = document.form(&quot;form1&quot;).vname.value
email = document.form(&quot;form1&quot;).email.value


document.write(&quot;<br>Visitor Name: &quot;+vname)
document.write(&quot;<br>Email: &quot;+email)
document.write(&quot;<br><br>End Results</blockquote>&quot;)

</script>
</html>
===================================================

Everthing works in the test2.html page UP TO the point where I need to gather the form values from the first test.html form page.....

from u'r code it seems that u want to submit the information from page1 to page 2 and wants the data to accessed at client in page2.

Then u should either use hidden variables for it or can directly get the value in the VBScript as :

Using Hidden variables:

*** PAGE 2: test2.html ***

<html>

<b>Form results:</b><blockquote>

<script language=VBScript>

vname = document.form(&quot;form1&quot;).vname.value
email = document.form(&quot;form1&quot;).email.value


document.write(&quot;<br>Visitor Name: &quot;+vname)
document.write(&quot;<br>Email: &quot;+email)
document.write(&quot;<br><br>End Results</blockquote>&quot;)

</script>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; value=<%=request.form(&quot;vname&quot;)%> id=vname>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; value=<%=request.form(&quot;email&quot;)%> id=email>
</html>
===================================================

With Out using Hidden variables:


*** PAGE 2: test2.html ***

<html>

<b>Form results:</b><blockquote>

<script language=VBScript>

vname = <%response.write(request.form(&quot;vname&quot;)%>
email = <%response.write(request.form(&quot;email&quot;)%>

document.write(&quot;<br>Visitor Name: &quot;+vname)
document.write(&quot;<br>Email: &quot;+email)
document.write(&quot;<br><br>End Results</blockquote>&quot;)

</script>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; value=<%=request.form(&quot;vname&quot;)%> id=vname>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; value=<%=request.form(&quot;email&quot;)%> id=email>
</html>
===================================================

I think you're forgetting that this is CLIENT side. The Request object doesn't work and the &quot;document.form(&quot;form1&quot;).vname.value&quot; method gives me errors....

Any other ideas?
(THANKS btw [wink])
