Values missing from Response.Form

kolen05 · February 9th, 2005, 05:29 PM

I'm on IIS 6.0 and having an issue that seems random.

Every once in a while I can click on the button to submit the form and when the server goes to process the data in Response.Form it is missing. Time doesn't seem to be an issue because I've had it occur when submitted under 5 minutes. Our Session.Timeout is set to 20 minutes.

If anyone could give me any ideas, it would be appreciated.

TIA,

Mike

Heres the code....

<% @Language=VBScript %>
<%
    Response.Expires = 0
    Response.Buffer = True
    Response.Clear
%>

<html>
<head>
    <title>TEST REQUEST.FORM</title>
    <meta NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="TEST REQUEST.FORM">
    <meta NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="Mike Kolenda">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<%
    Response.Write "<br>Entire Form: " 'REMOVE ME
    Response.Write Cstr( Request.Form )

    Response.Write "<br>Session.Timeout: " + Cstr( Session.Timeout ) 'Ours is set globally to 20

    Dim SCRIPT_NAME ' Script name so we can make it location independent
    SCRIPT_NAME = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")

    If Request.Form( "username" ) <> "" Then
        Response.Write "<br>DATA EXISTS IN FORM." 'REMOVE ME
        Response.Write "<br>username: " 'REMOVE ME
        Response.Write Cstr( Request.Form( "hiddenuser" ) )
    Else
        Response.Write "<br>THERE WAS NO DATA IN THE FORM!!!" 'REMOVE ME
        Response.Write "<br>username: " 'REMOVE ME
        Response.Write Cstr( Request.Form( "username" ) )
    End If

%>
<body>
    <form METHOD="post" ACTION="<%=SCRIPT_NAME%>" id="testform" name="testform">
    <center>
    <table border="1" bgcolor="AZURE" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="75%">

        <td colspan="2" valign="MIDDLE" align="LEFT" >
            <input type="text" id="username" name="username" size="50">

    </tr>
    <tr>

This form posts values sometimes but every now and then it doesnt? - very strange. When this happens do no values get posted from any form element - or just some (if so which ones)?

This is not a soltion however I would place the client side validation in the head of your document.

All values from the form are missing. This can be seen from "Response.Write Cstr( Request.Form )".

Also, please disregard the element "hiddenuser" it should be "username" as well. I reduced the size of the form to just the one input and the two buttons. I must have forgot to replace this.

It is very strange I'm not sure if there is a problem with code, server, or global.asa. I figured if anybody could give me any ideas I could get them here.

Thanks,

Mike

Is anybody using Application Pooling on their IIS Server? If so what settings are you using?

Response.Write Cstr( Request.Form )
Will not return a result, you need to:
Response.Write Cstr(Request.Form("someElementName")

Does that work?
