Insert into Request.form field when empty

[gcoleman1]

Hello all.

I have a rather simple form that has two fields that are optional. When the form field is not filled out on the form I want a certain word to be put there instead. The variable name is useremail and right now I have coded the following:

If useremail = " " Then
useremail = "webmaster@xxxxx.org"
else useremail = Request.Form ("email")
end If
But when the form is submitted it still doesn't insert webmaster@xxxxx.org.

I only do this once every 10 years so I'm not versed in this at all. Thank your for any direction you can give!

Original thread is here: thread329-1785479

There is nothing wrong with the code I provided in the other thread (which I copied below), at least based on the very limited information and code you have provided so far.

useremail = Request.Form("email")
If useremail = [highlight #FCE94F]""[/highlight] Then useremail = "webmail@xxxxxxxx.org"

>But when the form is submitted it still doesn't insert webmaster@xxxxx.org.

Does it work when an email address IS entered on the form, and only fails to insert 'webmaster@xxxxx.org' when the field is empty? If so, notice that I do not have a blank space in between the two double-quotes (which I highlighted), whereas your code does, which could be the cause of your problems.

If this still does not work you will need to provide more code, not just that small snippet.
