Submit to web ASP

Re: Submit to web ASP

This ASP page works with the Submit to Web Action (I used POST, but GET should work). The MAJOR caveat with ASP is the use of the % in the variable name. It pretty much can't be done. The problem is your fist TAG <%UserName%> uses the <% and %> which are ASP directives. No matter how I tried to encode it I could not get it to work. The good news is that the variables work without the %% around them. The problem with this script is that anywhere in your project that the word UserName appears becomes a variable. The solution I used in my project was to use a strangely worded variable then read it into a regular %% encased variable. Worked fine.

I left out all the backend processing in determining the AuthorizedToInstall value, and would add more varabiles, but that is just window dressing...



<html>
<body>
<%
Name=request.querystring("Name")
AuthorizedToInstall = "TRUE"
if Name = "" then
Name = "TestUser"
end if
%>

<form>
<input type = "text" name = "Name" value = "<%= Name %>" size="20">
<input type = "submit" value = "Submit">

</form>

<SUF60>UserName,AuthorizedToInstall</SUF60>

<UserName><%= Name %></UserName>

<AuthorizedToInstall><%= AuthorizedToInstall %></AuthorizedToInstall></p>

</body>
</html>
