How do I loop through a comma-separated list?

[Dave Anderson]

A JScript function, Split(), followed by

Unless [Split] is a method of the Request.Form object, even JScript won't
like this, though JScript will certainly be happy with

myArray = Request.Form("ListBox").Item.split(",")

....since R.F().Item is a string value.

It seems to me that it works like this: request.form("x") returns a
string. The string has the split method.

This is what I think, not necessarily what is right

In jscript, strings are objects and have methods. In VBscript, they do not.
The code she posted had a mixture of vbscript and jscript and some third
language I've never seen.

returns a string. The string has the split method.

Request.Form("x") is not a string value, nor a String Object. It is an
object with properties .Key, .Count and .Item. It has no native .Split()
method.

So:

arr = request.form("x").item.split(",")

?

I don't believe that Request.Form("x") supports the Key property. The
Request object is immutable.

JScript is case sensitive. That should be

Request.Form("x").Item.split(",")

And if you're unsure if there will even be a name-value pair for "x", you
can use this:

(Request.Form("x").Item || "").split(",")
