Retrieve request id

[meldrape]

Hi there,

I have a form with a series of input boxes like so:
<input type=text name=1 id=x1>

How do I retrieve the value using the id instead of the name? I only need to know if the id is null. Thanks in advance.

To do a select from the db go here:

and click SELECT

If you want to know if the form text box is empty then do this

If Request.Form("1") = "" then
'# its empty, do something
    Else
'# its not empty..
End if

Thanks for your speedy reply. It's actually deeper than that. The text boxes are on a test and I use the same dynamic answer key for each test. Each test could have as many as 10 questions. I use the ID on the test form because let's say the answer to #1 could actually have 7 parts, each box with an id of &quot;x1&quot;. I use the ID for the user to jump from text box to text box. I thought I could perhaps use the id for something else as well. Thanks anyway.

You can do a loop, and request all text boxes that way..

<%

For i=1 to 10 

  strTextBoxes = strTextBoxes & &quot;|&quot; & Request.Form(&quot;name&quot; & i)

Next

%>

The split all the values into an array

txtAllVals = Split(strTextBoxes, &quot;|&quot

Then your values will be an array..

Response.Write txtAllVals(0)
..etc

Thanks, Snow! I'll give that a try. Since I have commas and some spaces hidden in the answer string so their answers will come out correctly, I have done a &quot;replace&quot; on the answer string, so your idea should work quite nicely.

Thanks again.
