I've got an online job application I am building using ASP/VBScript.
The application consists of one ASP document which has three separate
states.
States:
1. Form Display
2. Form Review (takes all information submitted from the first form
state and removes the form elements and displays entered information
using "Response.form( )".
3. Displays "Thank You" page and emails form contents to a specific
email.
I am using Session variables to control the states of the form. So on
the first state, I set a Session variable (frmState) to "two" and the
second state sets the Session variable to "three". So, my ASP document
has an if/else statement controlled by the value of the Session
variable "frmState".
The issue I am having is if a user sees a mistake during the second
form state, they must click the "Back" button to return to the firsts
form state. However, the value of Session variable frmState is still
set for "three" which once the user re-submits the form, the second
form state is skipped and the third "Thank You" form state is displayed
and the user doesn't get a chance to re-check their inputted
information.
How can I setup the form (using VBScript) to reset the value of the
Session variable once the "Back" button is clicked?
It doesn't look like the ASP page is refreshed in any way, so the
Session variable always contains the wrong value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't use ASP to detect client-side events, such as button clicks,
but you could use hidden fields in the form to keep track of which
state it's in, rather than session variables.
That way, if someone does use their back button, when they resubmit the
form, it will be back to frmState="1".
Or, when you display the preview of what they are submitting, you could
also provide them with the form again, with the values from the
previous form already written to it so they can choose to submit again
or edit.
/P.
/P.
I guess it just takes another perspective to point out the obvious.
Success at last and thanks a bunch!

Or you could include a Back button on your page that submits to the
page again. And toward the top of the page check to see if the Back
button is <> "" and then adjust the session variable accordingly.
And for a semi-related link about checking to see what button was
clicked on:

I have developed a web site using asp pages that use both vbscript and
javascript. Run the site on my PC and everything is fine. Ftp to my
web hosting provider which hosts asp pages and look on my site only to
find my vbscript is not recognised. It is treated as pure text so you
see
<% =Request.Form("LoginId") %>. Also see all the vbscript when you
"View Source". I have e-mailed my host provider but thought this may
be quicker!
Any ideas...

Hello: Here is what I am trying to do......
The user clicks on the delete icon, and gets a JavaScript client-side popup
to confirm that he wants to delete. I am passing this client-side function
a contactID.
Then, I want to send the result of this confirm (true|false) to a
server-side VBScript function, along with the contactID.
The VBScript function will then perform a delete in the database for the
specified contactID.

Hi,
I have the following code where there is some client side VBScript that
does something and needs to pass a variable back to the ASP.NET page.
When the page is updated through a postback, the information is lost.
What am I doing wrong?
After obtaining the variable, I assign it back to a Label text field on
the form, it shows up on the web page no problem.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
