Duplicate Data in Variable

[Telsa]

I've a curious problem. I have a page with a form and submit button. The data captured to be carried forward is a simple number that is part of the recordset. However, when it reaches the next page, the number has a duplicate of itself in the variable. For instance, say the value for the record/field is 657. When it gets to the next page, it becomes 657, 657!

Here is the submit code... and I did a response.write to be sure it did get padded here instead of in my next page...


<td align=left >

<Form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;pds_mailupdate.asp&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;pdsid2&quot; value=<% =objRst.fields(&quot;PDS_ID&quot %> >
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Finalize&quot;></td>

<td align=right > <Form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;pds_detailexisting.asp&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;pdsid2&quot; value=<% =objRst.fields(&quot;PDS_ID&quot %> >
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Edit&quot;></td>


When the pds_mailupdate.asp opens, the pdsid2 has been padded... I checked by having the response.write write to the page so I can see if the variable shows that...

strPDSID = request.form(&quot;pdsid2&quot
response.write strpdsid
%>

Anyone have any clude why this is happening?? Mary

first off you have two <form tags started and none ending. you need to end the first before you open the second or &quot;Wierd things happen&quot;
ie..
<td align=left >

<Form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;pds_mailupdate.asp&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;pdsid2&quot; value=<% =objRst.fields(&quot;PDS_ID&quot %> >
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Finalize&quot;></td>
</form>

<td align=right >
<Form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;pds_detailexisting.asp&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;pdsid2&quot; value=<% =objRst.fields(&quot;PDS_ID&quot %> >
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Edit&quot;></td>
</form>

i think this is your problem...

I was hoping that would make a difference but it didn't... anything else you can think of???? Mary

You have two form elements with the same name.

Thank you, dsmith1000! That was it... didn't think it would make a difference because of two separate buttons. Mary

It looks as if you are trying to do one of two things to a single piece of information. i.e. Either Edit or Finalize something with a PDS_ID.

I would set up one form with radio buttons 'Edit' and 'Finalize' and a 'GO' button. The GO button (type=button not submit) would have a onClick=SubmitThisForm() javascript call. In Javascript set the action of the form dymanically depending on the status of the radio buttons then submit the form. Have one input type=hidden with the PDS_ID and whatever other info you need to pass to pds_detailexisting.asp or pds_mailupdate.asp.

I am not the best in JS but hears a stab:

function SubmitThisForm(){

var EditPg = 'pds_detailexisting.asp ';
var FinalPg = 'pds_mailupdate.asp';

if(form[0].rdoAction[0]==true){
//rdoAction[0] is finalize, rdoAction[1] is edit
form[0].action = FinalPg;
}else{
form[0].action = EditPg;
}

form[0].submit();

}
