returning value to form textbox??

1 New Member
I understand how to use ASP to retrieve a value from a form textbox. I don't understand how to use ASP to fill in a value in a form textbox. I'm guessing that perhaps Response.Write can be used? If so, I don't know the syntax to do this.

Simplified code. A form with one control - a textbox. After the user submits the form, I can get the textbox value. How would I send a string back to this same textbox to overwrite the user-entered value?

<%
' retrieve the user-entered text from textbox "UserName"
textValue = Request.Form("U serName")

' How do I send a string back to textbox "UserName" ??
' ???
%>


<form action="xxxx.as p" method="post">
<input name="UserName" type="text" value=""
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Thanks,
Dan

I've got this javascript routine (i found on google - thank you) in an asp.net page that on page reload sets the cursor of a textbox to the last line. It works great! Using a similar concept, I have another application that uses a textbox like an editor window and has a save and other buttons. Problem is - when I save/post/reload, the textbox returns to cursor the top again. How can I preserve / save the exact cursor spot and return...

OK, this is a stupid thing, but I can't seem to get this to work. I have a form with a subform (in continuous form view). A combo box on the main form has code in the AfterUpdate event which adds a record to the subform (based on the value of the combo box) and requeries the subform control. I want the focus to return to the combo box on the main form when it's done, but I can't get it to do so if the user enters a value and presses Enter...

Dear Group Sorry for bothering you again but I need expert advice on this. I have placed a HTML textbox on my aspx form and converted it to run as a server control. At some point in my code I assign a value to this textbox using Javascript with 'Form1.TextBox1.Value = "Hello"' But when I want to read the value of this Textbox later on using VB with 'MyVar = TextBox1.Text' it returns nothing.

Hello all, I have always been having this issue and wondering what the solution is. When I set the enableviewstate property to false for a textbox, the textbox always retains its value after a postback occurs. Why is this? I want the textbox to become empty after postback. How can I do it without setting textbox.text = "" and without doing Response.redirect to the same page. JK

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
