I have an ASP page that is creating a table of inputs which are being
dynamically named based on the column values from the table.
Basically what I'm doing is iterating through my recordset and
writing out a table, i.e.,
Do While Not rsTemp.EOF
For Each objColumn In rsTemp.Fields
Response.Write "<input type='text' name='" & rsTemp("recordid")
rsTemp("objColumn.Name") & "' />"
Next
rsTemp.MoveNext
Loop
The problem doesn't come into play until I submit this form with
beaucoup fields in it. What I'm wanting to do is iterate through the
forms collection and parse back out both the form field name and the
form field value. So I try a couple of different ways to do that.
The first thing I do is the following:
Dim fieldCount = Request.Form.Count
For i = 1 to fieldCount
Response.Write Request.Form(i) & "<br />" & vbcrlf
Next
This works great for displaying the form field values in order, but
it won't show me the form field name.
So then I try this:
For Each frmField In Request.Form
Response.Write myItem & " #150; [" & Request.Form(myItem) & "]
<br />" & vbcrlf
Next
This works well for showing the name of the field as well as the
value, but with on major problem. While the first loop displayed the
field values in the correct order, the second loop appears to have
displayed them completely at random.
For example, lets say my form had 5 fields in it
named "1fname", "2fname", "3fname", "4fname" and "5fname".
The HTML output that my first ASP page creates would be something
along these lines (obviously shortened for this example)...
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="1fname" value="Mark" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="2fname" value="Todd" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="3fname" value="Jim" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="4fname" value="Steve" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="5fname" value="Carl" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
By using array notation to iterate through the forms collection, the
loop will return the following
Mark
Todd
Jim
Steve
Carl
By using the For Each...In loop to iterate through the forms
collection, the results might be something like this...
Todd
Carl
Steve
Jim
Mark
WHY?
Forms Collection
