How to update the radio button value in the database using ASP

[Sonasang]

Hi ,
I am creating webpage in ASP. In that page i am using 2 radio button.....
Male and female

If onclick event fires for the radiobutton i have to update the value in the database as male (if i checked the male).....

Using Javascript i am getting the value of the radiobutton value and placing them in the hiddenbox and then in the ASP code i get the value of the hiddenbox using request.form and then update the same value in the database...

My problem here is since the page is reloaded i am getting the Null value .......in the ASP code...(SInce ASP runs all the code before)


Pls help me ....

ASP code

Dim gend
gend = Request.Form ("status")
if gend <> "" then
Set objConn = Server.CreateOb ject("ADODB.Con nection")
objConn.Mode = 3 '3 = adModeReadWrite
objConn.Open "Excel"

Set objRS = Server.CreateOb ject("ADODB.Rec ordset")
objRS.ActiveCon nection = objConn
objRS.CursorTyp e = 3 'Static cursor.
objRS.LockType = 2 'Pessimistic Lock.
objRS.Source = "Select * from Range1"

Sonasang:

There are some problems with your script; you are doing some unnecessary steps here.

What is the name of the field you are trying to update?

Radio buttons can be read by ASP via the Request object. You do not need to update the hidden form field with the user's gender selection. Use Request.Form("R adio") to get the value the user selected.

Also, the script you use to update your database is doing a lot more than it really should. I did not see anywhere in that script where you set a variable called status1, either. Try this...

<%
Dim gend
gend = Request.Form ("Radio")
 
if gend = "male" or gend = "female" then
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Mode = 3 '3 = adModeReadWrite
objConn.Open "Excel"
 
Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objRS.ActiveConnection = objConn
objRS.Source = "UPDATE Range1 SET fieldName = '"& gend &"' WHERE fieldID = ID"
objRS.Open
... etc...
 

All you have to do is UPDATE the database, so use an UPDATE sql query. In my query above, I put two variable field names which you should replace with your own.

fieldName = the field you are updating
fieldID = the unique field of your table - your primary key

I also put a variable in called ID.
ID = the value of the primary key for the record you are updating.
