ASP required fileds in E-mail form

M

Mark Creelman

Hi:

I am relatively new to ASP. I prefer Perl, but need to do this form to e-mail sipt for a web page,

See Example of script below that works fine. I want to add the feature to this where it will tell customer that they missed a field, "click
here" to go back & try again.

Does not need to be fancy telling them which field they missed. (Although would be nice) Can even require all fields to be filled out, or do again.
Currently it kicks you out when e-mail field is empty, but not on any other field.

Again..nothing fancy need be written, just the basics.


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

The simplest approach is:


sSomeValue = Request.Form("formField")
If Trim(sSomeValue) = "" Then
Response.Write "You missed a field. Hit your back button."
Response.End
End If

What I would do is:

1. Provide JavaScript client-side so that they do not have to make a return
trip to the server. See example:
http://examples.oreilly.com/jscript3/text/16-2.txt (You will have to view
source since this particular example's View Source is not formatted
correctly.

2. Provide server side validation in case the user has client side disabled
or whatever. What I would do is avoid the click here to return is post
directly back to the same page. <form method=post> with no action or <form
method=post action="login.asp"> where login.asp is the same page.

Quick hack for demonstration purposes:

<%


dim strMessage, blnError


blnError = false
if Request.Form("submit") <> "" then ' being posted back
if request.Form("email") = "" then
strMessage = "Email field is required." & "<BR>"
blnError = true
end if

'' whatever other fields you want
if Not blnError then
response.Redirect "ToDo.htm"
end if

end if

%>
