hi!
Iam creating shopping cart for my self and now Iam stuck with some non-logical problem.
I have page wich lists all items for each group like

Mainboard
-> Abit
-> Asus
CPU
-> Intel
-> AMD
...

next to each item I have textbox with name txtItem & recordset("id"). In this textbox I need to enter amount of how many items I want to add to my cart. Next to the txtItem I have image button 'add to cart' and I need to read that value from textbox and send it through QueryString for further actions.
When I've tried to read the value, I get a blank string.

Dim txt
txt = Request.Form("txtItem" & recordset("id"))

It looks logicaly, but doesen't work! what I'm doing wrong?
thanks

when you are doing your request are you inside a recordset??? if so I would have thought it would barf because you would end up re-dimensioning txt.

in other words recordset("id") = "" or null so when you try your request.form etc you are looking for something that doesn't exist.

I forgot to say that this is all inside a recordset in do while loop... so when I Response.Write(recordset("id")) returns valid ID so this is OK, but still wan't work.
What's the correct way to read the value from such a textbox in do while loop?

I'd do something like this.....

Dim strValues
Dim arrValues
Do While Not myRS.eof
  strValues = strValues & request.form("textbox" & myRs("ID")) &","
  myRS.MoveNext
Loop
strValues = left(strValues, len(strValues)-1)
arrValues = split(strValues,",")

so you are probably not too far wrong in what you are trying.... if you want to attach your code I'm happy to have a look over it for you.

thanks
I will test it and if this is what I really want it's great
otherwise I will attach that page and take a look at the code
thanks again...

Post your part of code related to the form to be sent.

here I submited the whole page, becouse I dodn't know in wich part of page it's error... I'll hope you'll fix it... thanx

P.S. I've changed extension to .txt, becouse of attachment that not supports .asp ext. and I only have WinRAR installed on this mashine, so I thought this is much easier....

with the page you have posted you are trying to mix and match request.querystring with request.form and it doesn't really work because you are getting a querystring from the hyperlink which is not submitting the form (so there are no form values).

@ rokslide

can you tell me what to do to fix it?
Iam stuck with than and I can't go further...

[rokslide]

you have a couple of choices.... what I would do is create change the hyperlink to a javascript function call that populates a hidden field with the value you currently have in the hyperlink query string and submits the form.

that way all details will be available by request.form
