i have to add multple combo in the page only if my one condition is true.

eg

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 var RepName;
 
RepName = "<%=ReportName%>"
 
<%

 Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 

 conn.Open "'

 Set rs = ""
 
If reportname = "ABC" then
 
%>
 
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
 
<tr>

    <td class="filterCol1" width="27%">

    <b>Select Agency  : </b></td> 

    <td class="filterCol2" width="73%">    

        <Select name = "xyz" multiple ="true">

        <option value= "all" selected="yes">Select All</option>

<%
 
Do while not rs.eof

name = rs("name")

%>

 <option value="<%= name %>"></option>

<%

 rs.MoveNext

loop

rs.close

set rs=nothing

%>
 
</select>

    </td>

</tr>

</table>

<% End if%>

if i remove if condition then it is working fine, but when i insert if nothing is display
when i debug the code the condition is true than to the table with combo is not displayed.
is there any problem in if statement

I don't see any problems. for troubleshooting you can add an else clause

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 else

   response.write "reportName: " & reportName & "<br>" & vbNewLine

end if

What does this give you?

I would advise to keep capitalization consistant. Even though vbScript is not case sensitive I think it helps (you refer to both "reportname" and "ReportName") but I don't think that will make any difference.

Let me know if this helps.

thanks for reply the problem has been resolved as the variable name was incorrect.

Well, i am facind one more problem can one page can have multple forms
and how to read that multple forms elements(combo)?

jhardman

Yes, a page can have multiple forms, but as far as I know there is no way to submit more than one form at a time. Tell me what you are trying and maybe I can suggest an alternative.

why can't you put them all in one form?

As Jared said, there is no way to submit two forms at one time, only one or the other. The information from the other form isn't being lost - it's just not being sent.

What that means, essentially, is that if you have two forms on your page - a submit button will only submit the information in its parent form, the other information will NOT be passed to asp in the Request.Form object and therefore you can't access it on the next page.

It would be like a University professor giving out 2 assignments. The next day I submit only 1 assignment - He hasn't received the other assignment so he can't mark me on it because i didn't submit it.

If you want the information in both forms to be accessible on the second page, you will need to have 1 form, not 2.

Sincerely,
Mark
