forms collection and for next

[Mats]

I'm trying out some code cause of an idea I just got, but it won't work
for each item in Request.Form
Response.Write (Request.Form("item"))
Response.Write("<br>")
next
only one <br> per Request.Form("item") appears on the page, but no item
in Request.Form is written.
However I've learnt that "You can iterate through a collection using a
For Each item in ... Next loop."

You just told it to write the contents of a variable called "item". I doubt
there is a variable with that name in your Forms collection.

What you really wanted it to do was write the contents of the variable whose
name is contained in the item variable. Like this*:

Response.Write Request.Form(item)

* You should not use the parentheses around the response.write argument -
the Write method does not return a value, so the parentheses are not needed
unless you are doing this in jscript.

HTH,

<%
for each item in Request.form
Response.Write item & " = " & Request.form(item) & "<br>"
next
