simple simple question

[Oli]

Hi Folks,

Alright, I have a textbox called "A" and the value in that textbox is "B".

When the user presses submit I want A : B to appear on the page. How do I
do it?

I appreciate that this is very basic stuff, but I got to start somewhere!

Cheers (TIA)
Oli

On what page? The page to which you are submitting the request? If so, do
this:

<%
response.write "A:" & Request.Form("A ")
%>

If you mean the same page, it has nothing to do with ASP, which is
serverside code.

Please see a clientside NG.

Hi Oli,

Ok - well two ways I guess, if you *know* that the textbox is called B, and
you dont need this to be dynamic then :

<%
Response.Write "B: " & Request.Form("B ")
%>

The above writes the text B: to the page and then gets the value from the
submitted form data for the element name B

If you do not *know* that the element will be called B and you wanted to
display ALL fields etc, you could iterate through the form collection, check
out

I /think/ what you want is something like

either
' using method=POST
Response.Write Request.Form
or
' using method=GET
Response.Write Request.QuerySt ring

depending on the "method" attribute in your Form tag.

How about iterating through the list and showing them all...

For Each x In Request.Form
Response.Write x " = " & Request.Form(x)
Next

I believe Rob addresses this at the bottom of his reply. If you don't
know what the name of the element is, you can iterate the entire
Request.Form collection as detailed in the referenced article.
