Webmaster Forum / ASP / General ASP Topics / September 2008Forced submit
How can I force a submit on a form. I want to load a form but then I want to close it and have it do something and then redirect it. This is ASP 3.0. thanks > How can I force a submit on a form.

Indeed, the whole concept of form and submitting is clientsiide, not ASP. You cannot close a form. You cannot redirect a form.  SignatureEvertjan. The Netherlands.

This > is ASP 3.0. thanks I don't understand ... why load the form in the first place? Just process the data and redirect to the page you really want to go ... ? SignatureMicrosoft MVP -- ASP/ASP.NET Please reply to the newsgroup. The email account listed in my From header is my spam trap, so I don't check it very often. You will get a quicker response by posting to the newsgroup. Probably because I don't know what I'm doing! I have to upload a file but it doesn't work if I try to put it in the same asp page as all of the other processing. I have to add the ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" to the form statement which my page doesn't seem to like. I didn't know I could have more than one form on a page??? This does open up a lot more possibilitie but it seems I can get that accomplished with having a redirect to a form input page, pass it the file information to upload, submit the form and then redirect it back to what the original page was doing. >> How can I force a submit on a form.

You cannot do anything clientside, like submit a form, and after that do a serverside redirect. And a clientside redirect, what is that? SignatureEvertjan. The Netherlands.

What are you using on the serverside to receive the file? When using multipart/form-data encoding ASPs Request.Form collection is not able to return the field contents. The fields are there but encoded as mime parts which ASP doesn't understand. Some serverside uploader tools allow you to access these fields. Without this sort of support it will be difficult to achieve what you want in a pure HTML form. Note that a file input cannot be initialised with a file path. Hence any plan to have the response form an ordinary post to automatically send another post containing the file will fail. SignatureAnthony Jones - MVP ASP/ASP.NET |
