asp_databases thread: Blank Values in Form Processing?

Help required again, I'm afraid .....
Given the code snippet below, can anybody put me out of my misery and
explain how I'm ending up with no value being passed into WhichId on
the ProcessId page ?
<FORM ACTION="ProcessId.asp?
WhichId=<%= Request.Form("choose") %>" METHOD="POST">
<select name="choose">
<option value="fourpart">fourpart</option>
<option value="numeric">numeric</option>
</select>
<p>
<INPUT TYPE = "SUBMIT" VALUE="SUBMIT">
</FORM>
Regardless of whether I click on 'fourpart' or 'numeric' I can't get the
value passed down to the ProcessId page.
Awaiting enlightenment .....

A select component of a form needs to be handled differently to most
other form elements, I can spit this out in Javascript, but not so sure
about ASP. Once you've got the value out then it should all work.

try taking " WhichId=<%= Request.Form("choose") %> out of the form tag and
put in the page "prcessId.asp":
then do response.write WhichId to see if it passed.

ray-
I noticed that all of your values in your name/value pairs don't have
closing quotation marks around them in the <FORM> tag. Just a minor
issue, but it might help?
<FORM ACTION=3D"ProcessId.asp?" WhichId=3D"<%=3D Request.Form("choose")
%>"
METHOD=3D"POST">

like Dana said, using the following snippet in ProcessId.asp and leaving
your code in starter .asp works fine
<%
Response.Write "WhichId: " & Request.QueryString("choose")
%>
try taking " WhichId=<%= Request.Form("choose") %> out of the form tag and
put in the page "prcessId.asp":
then do response.write WhichId to see if it passed.

Hi there Ray,
Since u r using the "POST" method to submit the form,
I think a better way of getting it would be to
directly access the form collection of the request
object at the server itself on the page
ProcessId.asp..
by using request.form("choose")
Cheers

I think I know what your problem is... You are displaying a form, asking
for some input and expecting ASP to use that input immediately before the
form is processed. ASP doesn't work this way... What you should do is name
your SELECT box "WhichID"... Then you need to change the form to 'GET" or
change the way ProcessID.asp retrieves the value: WhichID. That should help
you out...

Following Dana's advice, I can now get this code to work.
Taking the "WhichId=<%=Request.Form("choose")%>" out of the first page,
and
replacing it with "WhichId = Request.QueryString("choose")" in the second
page ("ProcessId.asp") now enables me to see the value correctly in the
second page.
Must admit, I still don't fully understand why the original approach didn't
work, but at least I can now do what I originally intended.
Many thanks for all advice offered on this issue.
Ray
