request object

i'm trying to display a name from a field value within a form using the following within an asp page called logpost.asp

<%
Dim strUname
strUname= Request.Form("TLFORM")
Response.Write strUname
%>

here are the form details

<form action="<%=TL_LOGIN_URL%>?ACTION=Login" method="post" name="TLFORM">

this isn't working though both files are in the same directory. anyone got any suggestions if poss or a work around?

cheers

If you want to get a field value from a form, you must specify the name of the field within the form, not the name of the form. Here is an example:

<form action="...URL here..." method = "post" name="TLFORM">

<input type="text" name="myTextField">

</form>

Your script would access the field like this:

Dim textfield

textfield = Request.Form("myTextField")


Hope this helps,
