Posted Form Items not in Request

[Waldy]

Hi there,
I have a pure HTML form that is submitting data back to an
..ASPX form. However, when I try to read the field values from the Request
object, the values are not there.

The Form has id, method and action set. The fields have ids, but when I do
something like:

String avar = Request["FieldId"];

I only ever get null returned. What am I missing?

Regards,

Steve W.

Re: Posted Form Items not in Request

If you are not using .NET controls then you need to use name not id....

Like <input type="text" name="txtUser">
then Request["txtUser"] will work

Also they must be inside of <form</formtags.

PS: You can always check in debugger Request.Forms collection to see what is
being submitted.

George.

Thanks George, that was it.
