Method POST not working

[BLUESTAR]

Here is the link of the website
http://www.smartcharlotte2050.com/YourThoughts.asp

I have been told to change only the form action part of this site.which is
to "response.asp"
Here the method POST is not working,and I dont know how to solve this
problem

I have tried making my own sample. asp page with 4 textareas as in
YourThoughts.asp,and also I have kept the textarea name and ID same as that.

My sample asp is working perfectly fine,in my page method POST is working. I
need to insert content of textarea in database,

But in YourThoughts.asp nothing is being inserted in database .after
clicking the submit button, the page just redirects to response.asp.

Please please help me, how to solve this problem.


Thank You

I forgot to add,is it because YourThoughts.asp have multiple forms,but as far
as I know ASP can have multiple form,also I tried deleting the form "which I
am not suppose to as they dont want any changes in their website" but still
the problem persist.

Please do reply!!!!!!!!

Thank You

Since this group deals with asp (which runs on the server and is not
accessible via the browser) perhaps you should post the code that you are
trying to "get to work" and explain the symptoms that lead you to believe it
"is not working".

So where is the code for "response.asp"?????

Nothing to do with ASP. HTML allows as many <FORM> tags on a page as you
want. Only restriction is that they CAN NOT be nested (you can't have a
<FORM> tag *inside* another <FORM>....</FORM> range).

And *ONLY* the <FORM> that is actually submitted by the user will be posted
to the ACTION= specified in that one <FORM>. All other forms are ignored.

This is true whether you are using ASP or PHP or JSP or even just using a
<FORM> to go to another HTML page.

As Mike said, no code, no help. We can't read your mind.

Okay somehow I have solved the error,but now i am stuck in new error.

this is the response.asp code
<%
Set db=Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")
db.Open "DSN=mysurvey;"
strDate=Date()
for i=1 to 4
res=Request.Form("Your Thoughts Q"&i)
sSQL = "INSERT INTO survey (ID,Response,Date) "
sSQL=sSQL & " VALUES ( '"
sSQL=sSQL & i & "','"
sSQL=sSQL & res & "','"
sSQL=sSQL & strDate & "')"
db.Execute sSQL
Next
db.Close
Response.Write ("Your data has been successfully send.Thanks for your
response!!!")

%>
this the link of the website from where data will be stored in database.

The error I am getting

I have even tried the following,but problem persist.

In IE, turn off the "Friendly HTTP error messages" by choosing tools -
internet options - advanced. The full error messages as well as the line
number of the error will then be displayed.


Thanks Again for your support

You cannot debug a sql statement without knowing what it is. Insert the
following before the Execute statement:

'***********comment out when finished debugging*******
Response.Write sSQL & "<BR>"
Response.End
'***********comment out when finished debugging*******

Run the page and look at the resulting sql statement. The error should
stick out like a sore thumb. If not post it here.

Further points to consider:
Your use of dynamic sql is leaving you vulnerable to hackers using sql
injection:

http://www.sqlsecurity.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=23

See here for a better, more secure way to execute your queries by using
parameter markers (tokens):
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.db/msg/72e36562fee7804e

Personally, I prefer using stored procedures, or saved parameter queries
as they are known in Access:

Access:
http://www.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&[email protected]

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...=1&[email protected]

thanks for reply

but after adding Response.Write sSQL & "<BR>"
Response.End

I am getting this
INSERT INTO survey (ID,Response,todaydate) VALUES ( '1','s','7/16/2008')
but i have used for loop which will insert 4 datas,but here i am showed only
one.

so what do you think ,my INSERT query is correct?????
but nothing is being inserted in database.
my problem is i am not use to Microsoft Access,

Please do reply

Thanks

Now I am getting this error
rror Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Operation must use an updateable
query.
/testasp/SurveyResponse.asp, line 16

line 16 is db.Execute sSQL

 

[Bob Barrows [MVP]]

No, assuming todaydate is a date/time field and not a Text field, it is
not correct. In Access, date literals need to be delimited by #, not '.
You should read my links and parameterize this statement. Not only will
that make you immune to sql injection, but it will also allow you to
forget about delimiters.

 

[BLUESTAR]

Problem solved!!!
