request.form help

[dcarbone]

i have a series of about 600 text boxes that i need to pass to another asp page and they are named using a loop. ie

do while not rst.eof
<input type=text name=&quot;<%&quot;name&quot; & loop_counter %>&quot;>
rst.movenext
loop

the exact number of boxes is not known and depends on user parameters.

how would i use request.form on the following page to get the data from these input boxes.

this code does not work

for indx = 1 to loop_counter
val = request.form(&quot;name&quot; & indx)
next

dim myarray

for indx = 1 to loop_counter
myarray(indx)= request.form(&quot;name&quot; & indx)
next

Are you passing Loop_Counter in a hidden form field (after it reaches it's highest point)? Then on the other form:
Loop_Counter = request.form(&quot;Loop_Counter&quot

By the way this code is only going to change the value of the variable val Loop_Counter number of times and eventually leave you with the final (highest) Loop_Counter.
for indx = 1 to loop_counter
val = request.form(&quot;name&quot; & indx)
next

here it is a simpler way.
Name all your input boxes the same and then on the server you knw how many you have easyly.

do while not rst.eof
<input type=text name=&quot;myText&quot; value=...>
rst.movenext
loop


and on the server side you will now have an Request.Form(&quot;myText&quot as an array.

Now you can use

for each textval in Request.Form(&quot;myText&quot
'now text val contains each value.
next

or the clearer way
for i=0 to Request.Form(&quot;myText&quot.Count-1 '0 index based array
mytext=Request.Form(&quot;myText&quot.(i)
next

This should fix your naming problem. You knw how many items you have with:
nrItems=Request.Form(&quot;myText&quot.Count

You can use the forms collection on the page your text boxes are submitted to like so

for each key in Request.Form
Response.Write key & &quot; &quot; & Request.Form(key)
next

the key is the name of the control(i.e. textbox, button etc)
Request.form(key) would be the value
