This is a three part form -- requesting information for an insurance policy.
The first form is filled out and I 'stash' off the following variables as
session variables. Then depending on the selection we may go to one or both
of the other forms.
This part of the code works without a hitch.
Session("svPersonMarital") = Request.Form("selMarital")
Session("svPersonHomeOwner") = Request.Form("sleHomeOwner")
Session("svPersoncbAuto") = Request.Form("cbAuto") <<===== Auto
Policy Check Box
Session("svPersoncbTenanct") = Request.Form("cbTenants")
Session("svPersoncbHomeOwner") = Request.Form("cbHomeOwner") <<======
Homeowner Checkbox
Session("svPersoncbValuable") = Request.Form("cbValuable")
Session("svPersoncbUmbrella") = Request.Form("cbUmbrella")
Session("svPersoncbFineArts") = Request.Form("cbFineArts")
Session("svPersoncbBoats") = Request.Form("cbBoats")
Session("svPersoncbFlood") = Request.Form("cbFlood")
' If they;'re interestind in Auto Policy we have fill out this form first
and I stash the data off as above ..... then we may got to one of the other
form - or we mail go directly to the mailer
if (Session("svPersoncbAuto") = "checkbox" ) then
Response.Redirect("auto.asp")
else
if (Session("svPersoncbHomeOwner") = "checkbox") then
Response.Redirect("HomeOwner.asp")
end if
Response.Redirect("PersonMail.asp")
end if
However, and it doesn't matter whether they've filled out either of the
other two forms, when I get to this code, the variables seem to contain
nothing ..... as indicated by the two debug lines I've 'printed'.
Body = Body & "They have indicated interest in the following coverage:" &
vbcrlf
Body = Body & "Session(svcbHomeOwner) [" & Session("svcbHomeOwner") & "]" &
vbcrlf
Body = Body & "Session(svcbAuto) [" & Session("svcbAuto") & "]" & vbcrlf
if Session("svcbHomeOwner") = "checkbox" then Body = Body & "
Homeowner coverage (see below)" & vbcrlf
if Session("svcbAuto") = "checkbox" then Body = Body & "
Automotive (see below)" & vbcrlf
if Session("svcbTenants") = "checkbox" then Body = Body & " Tenant
coverage" & vbcrlf
if Session("svcbValuable") = "checkbox" then Body = Body & "
Valuables coverage" & vbcrlf
if Session("svcbUmbrella") = "checkbox" then Body = Body & "
Umbrella coverage" & vbcrlf
I'm at a loss. Timeout is not a function, I'm running it from my machine
which *does* have cookies enabled. Some of the data is there and some of it
appear to not be there, which indicates to me that I don't know what I'm
looking at / for..... suggestions???

something
