What is wrong I want the form and the form validation in the same page

karenmiddleol · Sep 30, 2005

I have a simple form to accept two form fields and display the values
entered on pressing the submit button. The following is the form I have
created to accept the two entries and display the form fields on
pressing the submit form. It does not work can somebody please correct
the code or provide a simple equivalent code where I can have the form
and the validation and usage of the form values in the same ASP page.

Thanks
Karen

<html>

From Period : <input type="text" name="FromPeriod">

<br>
To Period : <input type="text" name="ToPeriod">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" action = "Go">
</form>

<%
Dim FromVal, ToVal
FromVal = Request.Form("FromPeriod")
ToVal = Request.Form("ToPeriod")
Response.Write FromVal
Response.Write ToVal

If FromVal & ToVal <> ""
Then
Response.Write "Valid data entered"
End If
%>
</body>
</html>

<html>

<br>
To Period : <input type="text" name="ToPeriod">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" action = "Go">

Why action = "Go" ? Has no meaning, imho.

</form>

<%
Dim FromVal, ToVal
FromVal = Request.Form("FromPeriod")
ToVal = Request.Form("ToPeriod")
Response.Write FromVal

Response.Write FromVal & said:
Response.Write ToVal

Response.Write ToVal & said:
If FromVal & ToVal <> ""
Then

The Then must be on the same line as the If

Response.Write "Valid data entered"
End If
%>
</body>
</html>

with the Then corrected it works fine here,
except that

FromVal & ToVal <> ""

is true when "one of them is non empty.

I think you mean:

If (FromVal <> "") AND (ToVal <> "") Then

HI Karen,

I don't think you can do what you want this way. You're trying to validate
data with server side scripting, which is run *before* the page is sent to
the browser. You need to use client side scripting (js or vb) to validate.
