Complete Request Object Reference
The Form collection is used to retrieve the values of form elements from a form that uses the POST method.
| 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. |
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:
|
Blue Green |
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 |
