not getting a page

[jakyra]

I have a form, and the submit line is created on the fly, like this:

Code: Select all

  	if isbn="" then 
		nextPage = "Process.asp"
		buttonString =  "<INPUT disabled TYPE='submit' NAME='reviewSubmit' VALUE='Submit'>"
		PageTitle = "Children's Literature Review Entry"
	else
		' check to see if they are authorized to edit this review
		
		if (myStatus="Student" and getFieldData("StKatesApproved", 0) = True) OR _
			((myStatus<>"Second Editor" and myStatus <> "Staff")  and  getFieldData("FirstEditComplete", 0) = True) OR _
			(  myStatus <> "Staff" and getFieldData("SecondEditComplete", 0) = True) then 
				response.cookies("ChildLit")("message") = "This book has already been edited. You cannot make further changes to this review."
				response.redirect "DisplayBook.asp?isbn=" & isbn & "&reviewer=" & user
		else
			nextPage = "Update.asp"
			SELECT CASE getArrayData("ReferPage")
			case "ReviewReview", "Process"
				 buttonString =  "<INPUT TYPE='submit' NAME='reviewSubmit' VALUE='Update'>"
				PageTitle = "Children's Literature Review Update"
			case "ReviewAll", "Update", "DuplicateISBN"
				 buttonString =  "<INPUT TYPE='submit' NAME='reviewSubmit' VALUE='Approve Edits'>"
				PageTitle = "Children's Literature Review Edit"
			end SELECT 
		end if
	end if


<FORM NAME="ReviewForm" METHOD="post" ACTION="<% response.write nextPage %>" >

It works when I'm in nextpage = Process.asp
but it doesn't always work when I'm going to update.asp

When I'm in "case "ReviewReview", "Process"" the form line on the page says:
<form name="ReviewForm" method="post" action="Update.asp">
but when I submit the form I get /.asp as the next page. (and obviously I get an error)

When I'm in the other case it's just fine.

I don't get it!

any hints?

Thanks

So you're saying the form tag looks right when you look at the page source, but it's not posting to where the ACTION says?

The ASP code is at the moment irrelevant. Post the full HTML source of the result and from there we're more likely to spot the problem. Probably something like overlapping forms, submit button outside the form tags etc.

I think I've worked out what this code is doing :razz:.
What happens if you move the nextPage = "Update.asp" line to the bottom of that section of code like:

...

Code: Select all

SELECT CASE getArrayData("ReferPage")
  case "ReviewReview", "Process"
    buttonString =  "<INPUT TYPE='submit' NAME='reviewSubmit' VALUE='Update'>"
    PageTitle = "Children's Literature Review Update"
  case "ReviewAll", "Update", "DuplicateISBN"
    buttonString =  "<INPUT TYPE='submit' NAME='reviewSubmit' VALUE='Approve Edits'>"
    PageTitle = "Children's Literature Review Edit"
end SELECT
<font color="green">nextPage = "Update.asp"</font id="green">

...

I'm with Nick. I think the problem isn't with the asp code, but maybe two forms on the page or something HTML related.

[Rob]

Yeah... I think maybe two forms on the same page conflicting... give them seperate names.

This looks the most likely cause.

[jakyra]

D3mon was correct.
Just moving that line of code helped.

But why??:??:??:??:??:??:

Thanks for everyone's time!

At some point - possibly during the getArrayData function, the value of the variable nextPage gets changed to something completely different, unexpectedly.

Redefining the nextPage variable after the Select Case circumvents the problem, but is an indicator of either bigger problems or the need for better coding practices.

[jakyra]

I'll look into that.

Thanks!
