Hi

How do I fetch the name of form fields in an asp page?

I have a form with a few input fields. When I submit the form, how do I 
fetch the name or Id of these input fields?

thanks in advance

Generally you would already know the form field names because you 
programmed the ASP. You get the VALUES using syntax like

   val = Request.Form("fldname")    - where fldname is hardcoded.

If you have generated field names you could get the name and value  by 
something like:

    Dim fld
    Dim fldVal
    Dim fldName

    For Each fld in Request.Form
        fldVal = Request.Form(fld).Value
        fldName = Request.Form(fld).Name
    Next

Hope this helps

This code will allow you to assign any form field to a variable of the same
name, i.e. request.form("thisfield") becomes a variable called thisfield
that holds the value of request.form("thisfield").  This code saves a lot of
time in hard coding form variables, but it does not work with input types
that are images.  If you are using an image as an input type, such as for
your submit button let me know, and I will give you a work around.  Thanks,

'set variables for form submission
    For Each Field In Request.Form
        TheString = Field & " = Request.Form(""" & Field & """)"
        Execute(TheString)
    Next

'add this code if you also want to capture querystrings the same way
    For Each Field In Request.QueryString
        TheString = Field & " = Request.QueryString(""" & Field & """)"
        Execute(TheString)
    Next
