Post unknown amount of form variables 1

[mainmast]

Hi all,

I need to be able to post every single form element's value to an ASP page. I would not know how many, what type, or the name of the element. I could have a form of 5 textboxes, a few radio buttons, a select menu, and more. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Use hidden inputs for everything that you don't want or need to display, textareas for values longer than for text inputs (like multi-line ones).

Let me clarify:

I'll have an ASP page on a server (lets say

http://www.myserver.com/FormProcess.asp).

Then, I'll have at least 30 seperate plain HTML files created by different people. In those HTML files there will be a form, and in that form there could be any amount of input elements, like textboxes, textareas, radio buttons, checkboxes, and more. I don't know what the name of these elements will be called, I don't know what value they'll contain, what type they are, or how many of them the form contains.

The form would point to

http://www.myserver.com/FormProcess.asp

in the action attribute. That page will display every single element of the form and the values of that form. I need to know how to do this, without knowing the things mentioned above.

You could try a For/Next loop on the Request object.

The following code assumes that the Form's method = POST

<%
Dim Foo
For Each Foo in Request.Form
  Response.Write Foo & " = " & Request.Form(Foo) 
  Response.Write "<br>" & vbCrLf
Next
%>

Also you need to be aware that the browser will not send anything for unchecked checkboxes.

Thanks - that is exactly what I needed Sheco.
