Passing parameters with 'for each Item in resuest.form....'

[Mike]

I have a mulitpage form that I do not record the information into a dbase
until the end.

I need to pass the field values form on form to the next. I have the code
for automatically
generating the 'hidden fields' but cannot figure out how to code it to
automatically generate
the assignment statements.

For example:

Code for passing Hidden Fields.....

<%
for each Item in request.form
response.write "<input type=hidden name=" & Item & " value=""" &
request.form(Item) & """>"
next
%>


Code for assigning: (Does not work!)

<%
for each Item in request.form
response.write "<%" & Item & " =request.form(""" & request.form(Item)
& """)"%>"
next
%>

The output should look like this: <%FName = request.form("FName")%>

Thanks,

Mikeal

response.write "<%" & Item & " =request.form(""" &
request.form(Item)

& """)"%>"

This won't work. ASP gets processed once, not twice.

Do you really need dynamic variable names? If so, you can use EXECUTE, I
think. (Look up the EXECUTE and EVAL keywords in VBScript documentation.)

However, as others will also point out, this is a very lazy and inherently
dangerous way to code... which is why I'm not willing to provide a working
code sample.

Code for assigning: (Does not work!)

<%
for each Item in request.form
response.write "<%" & Item & " =request.form(""" & request.form(Item)
& """)"%>"
next
%>

Try this...

for each item in request.form
eval(item) = request.form(item)
next
