ASP Form Collection
 Complete Request Object Reference
The Form collection is used to retrieve the values of form elements from a form
that uses the POST method.
Syntax
|
Request.Form(element)[(index)|.Count]
|
| Parameter |
Description |
| element |
Required. The name of the form element from which the collection is to retrieve
values |
| index |
Optional. Specifies one of multiple values for a
parameter. From 1 to Request.Form(parameter).Count. |
Examples
Example 1
You can loop through all the values in a form request. If a user filled out a form by specifying two values -
Blue and Green - for the color element, you could retrieve those values like
this:
<%
for i=1 to Request.Form("color").Count
Response.Write(Request.Form("color")(i) & "<br />")
next
%>

Output:
Example 2
Consider the following form:
<form action="submit.asp" method="post">
<p>First name: <input name="firstname"></p>
<p>Last name: <input name="lastname"></p>
<p>Your favorite color:
<select name="color">
<option>Blue</option>
<option>Green</option>
<option>Red</option>
<option>Yellow</option>
<option>Pink</option>
</select>
</p>
<p><input type="submit"></p>
</form>
|
The following request might be sent:
|
firstname=John&lastname=Dove&color=Red
|
Now we can use the information from the form in a script:
Hi, <%=Request.Form("firstname")%>.
Your favorite color is <%=Request.Form("color")%>.
|
Output:
|
Hi, John. Your favorite color is Red.
|
If you do not specify any element to display, like this:
|
Form data is: <%=Request.Form%>
|
the output would look like this:
|
Form data is: firstname=John&lastname=Dove&color=Red
