Working with Multiple Forms
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
A reader asked how he can capture the data from two different forms on the same ASP page at the same time. Because of the way form data is submitted, you can only access the data that is within the form delimiter tags. Here's an example:
<% If Request("a") = "v" Then
Response.Write Request("txtBox1") & "<br>"
Response.Write Request("txtBox2") & "<br>"
Response.Write Request("txtBox3") & "<br>"
Else
%>
<form action="test.asp?a=v" method=post>
<input type=text name=txtBox1 size=20>
<input type=text name=txtBox2 size=20>
<input type=submit name=cmdSubmit value=Submit>
</form>
<form action="test2.asp?a=v" method=post>
<input type=text name=txtBox3 size=20>
<input type=submit name=cmdSubmit value=Submit>
</form>
<%
End If
%>
When you run this, you can see two forms. If you put data in all three boxes and then hit the submit button, you'll only see the values in txtBox1 and txtBox2 printed. If you need the value of txtBox3 also, it should be part of the first form and not the second.
