simple simple question

[Oli]

Hi Folks,

Alright, I have a textbox called "A" and the value in that textbox is "B".

When the user presses submit I want A : B to appear on the page. How do I
do it?

I appreciate that this is very basic stuff, but I got to start somewhere!

Cheers (TIA)
Oli

On what page? The page to which you are submitting the request? If so, do
this:

<%
response.write "A:" & Request.Form("A")
%>

Hi Oli,

Ok - well two ways I guess, if you *know* that the textbox is called B, and
you dont need this to be dynamic then :

<%
Response.Write "B: " & Request.Form("B")
%>

The above writes the text B: to the page and then gets the value from the
submitted form data for the element name B

If you do not *know* that the element will be called B and you wanted to
display ALL fields etc, you could iterate through the form collection, check
out

Hope this helps,

If you mean the same page, it has nothing to do with ASP, which is
serverside code.

Please see a clientside NG.

I /think/ what you want is something like

either
' using method=POST
Response.Write Request.Form
or
' using method=GET
Response.Write Request.QueryString

depending on the "method" attribute in your Form tag.

How about iterating through the list and showing them all...

For Each x In Request.Form
Response.Write x " = " & Request.Form(x)
Next

I believe Rob addresses this at the bottom of his reply. If you don't
know what the name of the element is, you can iterate the entire
Request.Form collection as detailed in the referenced article.

Hi Oli...

You do it on the client-side. If you do it on the server-side, then you go
back to the server or at the very least unnecessarily reload the page or
another page. If the user is involved, you're working with the client, not
the server. Unless you need anything from the server, it is better to do it
on the client-side. If you do need something from the server, then it is
best to do it when the page loads, if possible.

If this is for the Internet, then javascript would be the language of
choice. If on an intranet and the browser is IE, it could be
javascript/jscript or vbscript. Not having this information makes it hard
to supply code for a specific language.

More information needed is how you want the information displayed. Stating,
"I want A:B to appear on the page" is vague. The reason is document.write
would replace all information on a page.

<form id=form1 onSubmit="document.write(A.name+':'+A.value)">
<input id="A" name="A" value="" />
<input type=submit id=submit1 name=submit1 value="Submit">
</form>

Setting the value or the innerText/innerHTML of a tag could render the value
to be shown within the current page.

<label id=label1>&nbsp;</label><br />
<form id=form1 onSubmit="document.getElementById("label1").innerText
=A.name+':'+A.value; return false">
<input id="A" name="A" value="" />
<input type=submit id=submit1 name=submit1 value="Submit">
</form>

Since you didn't say the user inputs the value, it could already be there.
You could already have what you want to show hidden and when the user clicks
submit, reveal it.

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function fillLabel(a, b) {
document.getElementById('label1').innerText=a+":"+b;
}
</script>
</head>
<body
onload="fillLabel(document.getElementById('A').name,document.getElementById(
'A').value)">
<label id=label1 style="display: none"></label>
<form id=form1
onSubmit="document.getElementById('label1').style.display='block'; return
false">
<input id="A" name="A" value="B" />
<input type=submit id=submit1 name=submit1 value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Since this is not an ASP-related question, I have set the followups to:
microsoft.public.scripting.jscript

HTH...
