asp_web_howto thread: what is the best way to retain data on a form


Message #1 by tzhang@h... on Tue, 20 Feb 2001 22:26:28
Hi:



I have a small form which consists of two textboxes, one multiple select 

box and one single select box.  How can I retain user's input after user 

clicks "submit" button ("submit" button will open another window).



Thanks!

Hope I understand this correctly....Small form you have may have the

following:

....................first html with form................

<form action="viewhr.asp" method=post>

  <p align=left>Please enter fields below to filter output:</p>

  <table>

     <tr>

     <td><INPUT size="30" Name="lastname" ></td>

     <td><b>   Last Name</b>  </td>

     </tr>

     <tr>

     <td><INPUT size="30" Name="firstname" ></td>

     <td><b>   First Name</b>  </td>

     </tr>

     <tr>

     <td><INPUT Name="misdesc" ></td>

     <td><b>   Like 

      Description for MIS</b> </td>

     </tr>

    </table>

  </p>

  <p><INPUT TYPE="submit" Value="Start Query" id=SUBMIT1 name=SUBMIT1>  

     <INPUT TYPE="reset" Value="Reset"></p>   

</form>

........................end of first html....now to the viewhr.asp it is

going to.....

<%

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

'Gets the Parameters from Form

 function GetParams()

 Dim strlastname, strfirstname, strmisdesc 

   strlastname = Request.Form("lastname")

   strfirstname = Request.Form("firstname")

   strmisdesc = Request.Form("misdesc")

   Response.Write "<b>Parameters:  </b>"

   Response.Write "<b>Lastname>  </b>"

   Response.Write strlastname

   Response.Write "<b>Firstname>  </b>"

   Response.Write strfirstname

   Response.Write "<b>MIS Desc>  </b>"

   Response.Write strmisdesc

 end function

 %>



Somewhere in the html part of this asp do a 

   Response.Write GetParams()

Once you get the form entries like strlastname etc.  do as you see fit with

them....

Thank you for your help.



I guess i did not express my needs very well.



What I want is: after user finishes his data entry and clicks the submit 

button, he can use browser's back button to go back to the form page and 

all the data he entered is still there in the form.



Thank you again!
