Dynamic Form Generation Fails

[Tim Pascoe]

I am using ASP to dynamically generate a series of forms. When the
page is loaded, everything appears to be correct, except that the
first form generated fails with a "FormName is Null or not an Object"
error. Each subsuquent form created by the code after that works
perfectly. Why is it that the first form, generated with exactly the
same block of code, fails?

Code Block: See ****** for form generation

Function DisplayExisting()
if not (rsAssay.BOF) then
rsAssay.MoveFirst
strHTML = "</TR>"
strHTML= strHTML + "<TR align='left' valign='middle'>"
strHTML= strHTML + " <TD colspan='8' height='1'
bgcolor='#990000'><IMG src='../../Images/spacer.gif'></TD>"
strHTML= strHTML + "</TR>"
strHTML= strHTML + "<TR valign='middle' align='left'>"
strHTML= strHTML + " <TD height='30' align='center'
class='columntext'>Current Values</TD>"
'Build Row for Values
Count = 1
do while Not rsAssay.EOF
if rsAssay.Fields.Item("replicate").Value = Count then
strHTML= strHTML + " <TD height='30' align='center'
class='columndata'>" & rsAssay.Fields.Item("count").Value & "</TD>"
rsAssay.movenext
else
strHTML= strHTML + " <TD height='30' align='center'
class='columndata'>&nbsp;</TD>"
end if
Count = Count + 1
Loop
strHTML= strHTML + "</TR>"
strHTML= strHTML + "<TR valign='middle' align='left'>"
strHTML= strHTML + " <TD align='center'
class='columntext'>Remove Replicate</TD>"

if rsAssay.Fields.Item("replicate").Value = Count then
strHTML= strHTML + " <FORM name='frmDel" & Count & "'

end if
End Function

Your question doesn't seem to have anything to do with Javascript.

Lee,

Except that the code is using JAVASCRIPT to submit the generated forms.
AND the error I am getting is a JAVASCRIPT error.

Nice.

Doesn't matter, I solved the problem without your volumes of help.

Not from what I could tell of that posted mess of VBScript, it isn't. I
see a form with an action and a method.
Not until I looked really closely inside a bunch of string statements
did I see a link with the dreaded "javascript:" pseudo-protocol in it
and realized that it was supposed to submit the form.
You want people to help, post readable, testable code.

AND the error I am getting is a JAVASCRIPT error.

Nice.

And the error was more than likely in the way the form was generated
from the ASP code, since that was what you marked out as relevant. But
we certainly can't tell from all the VBScript.
You make the assumption that people here can even tell what that
VBScript code does. Many do not. I have only a basic understanding of it
myself.

When you have a client-side javascript error, the error is on the
client.
Copy and paste the client code (view source), with no VBScript code, for
people to look at.
TESTABLE code, not stuff we need ASP to even comprehend.

Getting your panties in a knot because someone saw reams of VBScript,
not javascript, is rather silly.

You may be under stress but try to not let that influence your writing.
