I am creating a series of ASP pages each with its own form.

FORM1 passes data to FORM2, FORM2 passes its data + FORM1 data to FORM3 etc.

Untill I get to the last form I will have all the form's data ready to pass to a database.

When I pass the data from FORM 1 to FORM 2 it carries over fine, but when FORM 1's data is passed to FORM3 it looses data, ie. anything after the first word disappears.

eg. if the data from FORM 1 is "Desktop PC", when it is eventually passed to FORM 3 it reads "Desktop".

Any ideas??

Cheers.

 

rik,

its to do with the spaces. I remember a similar problem doing inline evaluation of querystring variables so

<%=variable%>

only showed the value up to the space, but

"<%=variable%>"

worked Ok, something along those lines, been a couple of months since I done any ASP and I cant test it here.

Cheers

Im using <% asset=request.form("asset") %> in the header to request the data from the previous form, then where I want to insert the data I use <% Response.Write asset %>.

If the asset includes a space, when it goes two forms along, anything after the space is lost

 

rik,

try assigning a page variable to the form var first:

strAsset = Request.Form("asset")

Then when you use it later you can do:

"<%=strAsset%>"

What do you want to use antiquated technologies like ASP for anyway?

Exactly as said - you need to quote your variables in the HTML code...

 

...and if there's any quotes in the variable, you need to do something with 'em

 

Cheers, i'm pretty new to ASP so please forgive my ignorance

Should be a little better after my work funded ASP course next week
