Form Templates

[Jay Villa]

I am planning to implement some templates (around 30 templates). User will
select this template from the drop down and click print. When it prints it
should populate few fields from the form to template and print. Any
suggestions ?

Not sure I follow what the issue is.

Displaying the page?
Getting Data?
Calling window.print()?

Just Response.Redirect() to the selected page and populate it, then call
the clientside print() event.

Suppose say I have a static template as shown below say as template1

Section1
-------------

Name ________________
DateOfBirth ----------------------
Address ----------------------------

In my asp form
Section2
----------
Please enter Name --------------
Please enter DOB --------------
Please enter address ------------
Select Template from the dropdown box ------------------

PRINT

Assuming that they select Template1 as shown section 1 and click on the
print button. The user information of Name, DOB, Address should be populated
to the template before printing.

I want to now how to achieve this ....

Hope I am making sense.

Where is this Data though? Just on the form? If so you will have to have
the PRINT button to a post to a page that will read in the values, to
the appropriate selected template, and then call the window.print()

It's pretty straightforward ASP coding.

Hello Jay,

I agree with Curt that redirection should be a proper solution. For
example, you one ASP page for each of template. When user submit the form,
you can save the data in session variant, and redirect to the template ASP
page acording user's choice. On the template page, display user data from
session and a button for printing current page.

Will this help?

print button. The user information of Name, DOB, Address should be populated
to the template before printing.

Just use similar names to your form entries in every template. You will then
be able to populate them simply by browsing all Request.Form submitted
data :

----------template1.asp--------------
<input type="textbox" name="fLastName" value="<%=Request.Form("fLastName")%>">

----------template2.asp--------------
<input type="textbox" name="fFirstName" value="<%=Request.Form("fFirstName")%>">
<input type="textbox" name="fLastName" value="<%=Request.Form("fLastName")%>">

and so on...
