Hi list
If you've ever created a form that submits to itself for form validation
before proceeding on, this is for you. Mine has a drop-down menu that, if
there's something wrong with the form, would auto select whatever WAS
originally selected:
<select name="Manager">
<option value=""></option>
<%
while not Managers.eof
response.write("<option value=""" & Managers.fields.item("RepID").value)
if request.form("Manager") = Managers.fields.item("RepID").value then
response.write(" selected ")
end if
response.write(""">" & Managers.fields.item("RepName").value &
"</option>")
Managers.movenext
wend
%>
</select>
In this example the forms RepID is 92503 (today's date). After selecting
this particular form I printed out:
response.write request.form("Manager") & " "
Managers.fields.item("RepID").value
Low and behold my output is:
92503 92503
Yet... the test to compare these two to enable the "selected" feature,
fails.
Does anyone have an explanation?
