Why are Forms Objects Submitted in Random Order?

[BigM]

Hi,

I have a Form which contains several fields.....when the Form is submitted the order in which they are passed in the Request.Form collection seems to be totally random. Why is this?

I use the following code to process....

For Each Item in Request.Form
Response.write blah blah
Loop

Thanks [sig][/sig]

Since the form doesnt expect to be presented again, it will be given in the order that they are processed, which in most cases seems randome, also it depends on how you are using the form, the most typical use is

Request.Form("VariableName&quot when grabing value
and if an item has an array (such as a list of stuff to submit)

for each itm in Request.Form("TheArray&quot
...

but other than that, it would seem to be a "as is" thing, which has no reasons to be in order.

sorry I couldnt help you beyound that. [sig]<p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href=
