I am a newby at ASP so please bare with me. I have a page containing a form. Lets call this page; page-a. This form will collect details of the user such as name, address and contact details. The last question on the form requires an answer of yes OR no. These details are now POSTed through to the next page. However, what i need to do is post the details through to page-b1 if the answer to the question was "yes" and page-b2 if the answer to the question was "no". The way i would do something like this normally, is submit the form on page-a to itself (page-a) and work out with asp whether yes or no was selected and doing a response.redirect "page-b1" for "yes" and response.redirect "page-b2" for "no". Using this method, i end up at the correct page, but I loose all of the details were entered. I need to retain the details that were entered in page-a to be used in page-b. Please feel free to tell me that i have approached this completly the wrong way. I have read some of the other questions and i would imagine that there is a really obvious answer and i should just go and buy an ASP book and fill the vast holes in my knowledge but for now, there is my problem. Thanks in advance. |

itayavtalyon-ga stated the best solution. To be of further service to
you, below is full source code for the solution.
sample code for page-a:
<% if request("yesno") = "true" then
response.redirect "pageb.asp?name=" & request("name") & "&address="
& request("address") & "&phone=" & request("phone") & "&yesno=" &
request("yesno")
elseif request("yesno") = "false" then
response.redirect "pagec.asp?name=" & request("name") & "&address="
& request("address") & "&phone=" & request("phone") & "&yesno=" &
request("yesno")
end if
%>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="testform.asp">
Name:
<input type="text" name="name">
<br>
Address:
<input type="text" name="address">
<br>
Phone Number:
<input type="text" name="phone">
<br>
Yes or No:
<input type="radio" name="yesno" value="true">
Yes
<input type="radio" name="yesno" value="false">
No <br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
sample code for page-b or page-c:
<% response.write "Name: " & request("name") & "<br>Address: " &
request("address") & "<br>Phone Number: " & request("phone") %>
I hope this helps you. Please feel free to ask for clarification if
necessary and if you're satified with the answer, please rate it.
Thanks!

Just to throw this out as an idea... You could always use session variables to store the info...not the most efficient way, but it would work. BRUNO |

I will suggest you the client-side validation using Javascript
approach to determine where the form data should be posted.
The following code will do the trick:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
function validateForm( objForm ) {
// Checks what is selected
if( objForm.answer[0].checked == true ) {
objForm.action = "page-b1.asp";
return( true );
} else if( objForm.answer[1].checked == true ) {
objForm.action = "page-b2.asp";
return( true );
} else {
alert("Please provide an answer!");
return( false );
}
}
</SCRIPT>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="formUser" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="answer" VALUE="yes">Yes
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="answer" VALUE="no">No
<BR><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" ONCLICK="return validateForm( this.form );"
VALUE="Submit form">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML> |

Another way...
From: itayavtalyon-ga on 12 Jul 2002 11:23 PDT |
Another way to send the data to the other page, rather than using
session variables is to send the data while you redirect to the page
(Get Method):
Such as: Response.Redirect "pageb-1.asp?name=" & Request.form
("name") and so on.
On page B-1, you can get the data by using the Request.QueryString
function, i.e. Request.QueryString ("name").
