Multiple Forms in one asp page

[brentnewbury]

Hi all,

I have a login script, that you can login, change your details, change your password, retrieve your password, and so on.

Say a person wanted to login in. They go to login.asp, then when they click the 'Login in' button it takes them to login_action.asp. How can I make it submit to the same asp form. I know how to do this in php but not asp. So for all the things that the user can do, there are alot of scripts, just to do a few simple things.

This is how it is done in php:

If (!Submit)
{
?>
HTML STUFF HERE AND FORM
<?
}
else
{
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO WITH THE FORM INPUT. I.E. INSERT INTO DATABASE
}
?>


Thnx for your time,

Brent Newbury

You need to check if anything has been submitted to the page using Request.Form for the get method or Request.Querystring for the PUT method. I will show you how with the get method.

<%
If Request.Form(&quot;RequiredFormElement&quot = &quot;&quot; Then
%>
DO HTML AND FORM STUFF
<%
Else
%>
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO WITH THE FORM DATA
<%
End If
%>

Another way you can do this is by using a CASE statement. Send a variable to the page either hidden or set as the name of a button. We name our buttons Action and set the value as the text of the button. So:

<%
SELECT CASE Request(&quot;Action&quot
Case &quot;&quot;%>
<form NAME=&quot;Login&quot; METHOD=&quot;POST&quot; ACTION=&quot;Login_action.asp&quot;>
HTML stuff here
<input NAME=&quot;Action&quot; TYPE=&quot;SUBMIT&quot; VALUE=&quot;Update Password&quot;>
</form>
<%Case &quot;Update Password&quot;%>
Do database stuff here
<%End Select%>
