controlling radio button links

[struth]

Hi

Just starting with ASP and wanted my users to select a radio button then travel to a specific page ... but my code doesn't work..

Any ideas????

TIA

<%
dim amend
cars=Request.Form(&quot;amend&quot
%>

<form action=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;form3&quot;>
<p>Which would you like to do:</p>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;amend&quot;
<%if amend = &quot;update.asp&quot; then Response.Redirect(&quot;checked&quot%>
value=&quot;update.asp&quot;>
update<br>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;amend&quot;
<%if amend = &quot;insertdetails.asp&quot; then Response.Redirect(&quot;checked&quot%>
value=&quot;insertdetails.asp&quot;>
Add <br>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Go&quot;>
</form>
<%
if amend<>&quot;&quot; then
Response.Redirect( &quot;&amend&&quot; )
end if
%>

i think your main problem was that you defined amend, but you then set the value to cars......

<%
dim amend
amend=Request.Form(&quot;amend&quot
%>

<form action=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;form3&quot;>
<p>Which would you like to do:</p>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;amend&quot; value=&quot;update.asp&quot;>
update<br>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;amend&quot; value=&quot;insertdetails.asp&quot;>
Add <br>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Go&quot;>
</form>
<%
if amend<>&quot;&quot; then
Response.Redirect (amend)
end if
%>

Er Yup! that I did!? I tried your version but I'm afraid it still reloads the same page rather than travelling to the one allocated to the button. Any ideas

Thanks again

simple, simple problem. form method defaults to 'get'. and you didn't specify the method, hence request.form(&quot;amend&quot doesn't exist.

I'd change it to (and clean it up along the way..) and I tested this and it worked:

<%
dim amend
amend=Request.Form(&quot;amend&quot

if amend<>&quot;&quot; then
Response.Redirect (amend)
end if
%>

<form action=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;form3&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
<p>Which would you like to do:</p>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;amend&quot; value=&quot;update.asp&quot;>
update<br>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;amend&quot; value=&quot;insertdetails.asp&quot;>
Add <br>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Go&quot;>
</form>

Ah Right, see what you mean. Clean and it works perfectly. Saved computer and me from the mallet once again. It's the simple things that really get you going.

Really many thanks

This all worked beautifully until I added in another radio button (in a repeated region)then I realised I could have the value from one set of radio buttons or the other but not both. Can you help?

<%
dim amend
amend=Request.Form(&quot;amend&quot

if amend<>&quot;&quot; then
Response.Redirect (amend)
end if
%>

<form action=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;form3&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
<p>Which would you like to do:</p>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;amend&quot; value=&quot;update.asp&quot;>
update<br>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;amend&quot; value=&quot;insertdetails.asp&quot;>
Add <br>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;DataEntry_ID&quot; value=&quot;<%=(rsActivityDetails.Fields.Item(&quot;DataEntry_ID&quot.Value)%>&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Go&quot;>
</form>

I don't understand your question. Where do you check what's selected for the DataEntry_ID radio button? Is that where your problem is, with that radio button? Could you post more of your code so we could see all that is going on?

Discovcered the problem was that my form fields were dropping out as I use dreaweaver's update behaviour but I have solved the problems now thanks
