Help using Request.form

[Guest_imported]

I've created a form using ASP with a submit button (which saves the form's data) and anothre link Print Preview which opens another window and should show the values entered in the form.

I'm using Request.form, but somehow The Request.form is not working if I show the values in a new Window.

How do I do this.

PLEASE HELP!

You have a few of options -- depending on how you have set this up --

(1) your form has a _target of _blank and the window pops up, in which case, you can read the values with request.form (assuming your form.method is post) --

(2) Most likely, you have the form.action pointing to another page, and so when you popup the window, you're doing it with the javaScript, window.open() or some such, and that's why the values aren't in the request.form --

So, to fix this, just remember that you can read the values from your parent window like this:

window.opener.formName.elementName.value

and in that fashion, you can get all of your values...

(3) Send the values via querystring to the new popup window (ie. newPage.asp?var1=val1&var2=val2) and then you can get them with request.querystring -- just like you would if you used a form.method of get --


Of the three, #2 is probably going to be your best bet, but any of them will work.

good luck!
