POST form data using Javascript in classic ASP

[cheecs]

Hi everyone,

I'm really stuck in this problem. my problem is Im converting the existing project which is using querystring and I need to change it to POST.

At the moment when clicking on submit button it calls checkdataandredirect( ) method. in which the newURL is built and used top.main.window.location.replace(newurl); to redirect the page. Also it returns false at the end.

Now to use post method, I've changed my form method to POST, and have added "document.transaction.action=newurl;" in the javascript to set the action attribute. what else do I need to do to make it work as it doesnt work. when I click on the button it just stays on the same page and nothing happens.

your help and time is much appreciated guys.

Thanks

Hi cheecs,

Could you post a sample of your code so we can see where you're going wrong?

Also, when you said "i click on the button but nothing happens" I'm assuming you're talking about the submit button?

I echo what mark says, it would definitely be useful to see your code. However, I would venture a guess that the original form submit button does not actually submit the form, it just redirects to a new page and includes the form data in the url, right? To submit the form you should do one of two things:

1- if you don't need the javascript function to do anything, just change the submit button to type="submit" (it probably now is type="button")

2- if you still need the javascript function to do something, then the last line of the function should submit the form. The syntax should look something like this:
[html]document.all.formName.submit();[/html]Let me know if this helps.

hi guys,

thanks for your help and time guys. I have solved it on the same day when I post my problem here. I was missing document.formname.submit( ) which is why when I press sumbit button it wasnt doing anything.

Thanks alot guys once again.
