Post the results of dropdownbox to URL

[Billie Hartline]

I have no IT trainig but would appreciate some help. I am a volunteer that assist several non-profit organizations.

I have a dropdown box - code follows:

 <asp:DropDownList id="DropDownListcofc" runat="server" DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1" DataTextField="Certify" DataValueField="Certify" Height="16px">
				</asp:DropDownList>

Using a hyperlink I am attempting to post the selection from the box to the URL on the page that follows - code follows:

;<a href='http://www.gejfa.net/billie/guidingprinciples.aspx?ID=<%= Request.QueryString("ID") %>&amp;CofC=<%= Request.Form("Certify") %>

The value of the ID post to the URL but the dropdown box doesn't. URL follows:

;<[http://www.gejfa.net/billie/guidingprinciples.aspx?ID=22&CofC=

Can someone please help. Thanks Billie

Now this is interesting, the page that sends the form appears to be asp.net, but the page that receives the form appears to be classic asp.

There are a couple possibilities that occur to me. 1- you might not be sending the form at all. 2- your asp.net page might be converting the form to querystring data instead of the default.

There is a simple way in classic asp to list all the info that was sent, whether as part of the url (querystring) or as a form submission. I suggest you try this in the classic asp page that handles the input. This will tell you what was sent and how.

for each x in request.form
   Response.write x & "(form): " & request.form(x) & "<br>" & vbnewline 
Next
For each x in request.querystring
   Response.write x & "(url): " & request.querystring(x) & "<br>" & vbnewline
Next

let me know what this give you.

Jared Thank you for responding - I got the following error message:

Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'x' is not declared.

Line 64: %>
Line 65: <%for each x in request.form
Line 66: Response.write x & "(form): " & request.form(x) & "<br>" & vbnewline
Line 67: Next

I don't understand your comment "asp.net, but the page that receives the form appears to be classic asp. " both forms have .aspx extensions? I did change teh language in the receivind document to get it to recognize the ID variable.

Billie

Thanks

If they both have extension .aspx then they are both asp.net. (Btw, this is a classic asp forum, but there is an asp.net forum on bytes). Anyway, so you got it to work?

[Billie Hartline]

No I got the error message above.

[jhardman]

Ok, the code I gave you probably won't work in asp.net. I've moved this thread to the asp.net forum to hopefully get better responses.

Shouldn't

Request.Form("Certify")

be

Request.Form("DropDownListcofc")
