Where did the COMMA come from!

[JonathanG6SWJ]

Hi

I have an asp page with a submit button

<input type="submit" name="btnSelection" value="I made this choice">

On another page I Request.Form("btnSelection") and get the result I made this choice ,

Where / why have I got a space and a comma appended to the end of the text after the word choice?

Thanks in advance
Jonathan

If you have more than one form item called btnSelection then when you do a Request.Form("btnSelection") you will get the value of each form item separated by a comma.

I guess its obvious when you know and quite logical!

Another little gem to remember.

Thanks Tony

All,

It seems logical. But, what I do not get is that submit button(s) behaves a bit differently, it seems to me. If you have two submit buttons like this:
[tt]
<input type="submit" name="btnSelection" value="I made this choice">
<input type="submit" name="btnSelection" value="I made that choice">
[/tt]
However reasonable or unreasonable, the request.form("btnSelection") would get either "I made this choice" or "I made that choice" depending on which button is chosen. But _not_ "I made this choice,I made that choice", which would otherwise be if it involves other controls like textbox say. So I don't get what is the problem.

The other form item called btnSelection might not be a button (despite the name) I have had occurences like this when I have cut and pasted code and forgotten to change the form item names.

FesterSXS,

Okay, submit button plus something else! That may be it. Thanks.

buttons will only take on the value when clicked, otherwise will be returned as a named item in the form collection as an empty string.
