Multiple Text Box

[micjohnson]

Hi there!

I have 3 text boxes in my form with the same name as "txtbx". The values are entered as A, B, C. How can i display these values in next page.

Thanx lot,
mic

You should name them differently ...
txtbx1,txtbx2,etc.

if named the same, only the value of the last text box will probably be passed through.

Is there a particular reason you need to have them named the same?

if you have multiple text boxes with the same name, camma delemited list with all value will be passed through.

 

[strantheman]

Yes, much in the same way a list box (drop down) input with the attribute 'Multiple' will pass all the CTRL-clicked values with the one name of the input.

<select name=&quot;many&quot;>
<option value=1>1
<option value=2>2
</select>

many=1,2

If you post through multiple fields from a form as a POST then they arrive as a comma delimited list (ie. A,B,C).
But if you post them as a GET (ie. in the querystring), they seem to get sent as seperate variables of the same name. I could only retrieve the first value (ie. A) and not the rest.

Does anyone know a way round this?

The only thing I could think of was to get the Query_string and hunt ans chop out the values in it.
(This was on ie5, Maybe it's different on other browsers)
