Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to use the value of a radio button to decide which
page a form should return its results to?

I have a form with many hidden fields carried forward from a log-in page.
Other than those, the form contains only 3 radio buttons, enabling the user
to choose to insert, amend or delete a database record.

I've been trying to set up the form action dependant upon the value of the
radio button, but it's returning a blank value. What am I doing wrong?

<form METHOD="POST" action="<%=request.form("gotopage")%>.asp?partnerid=<%
=partnerid %>" name="form">

Insert new hotel&nbsp;<input type="radio" value="newhotel" checked
name="gotopage"></p>
Amend existing hotel&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="radio" name="gotopage"
value="yourhotels"></p>
Delete existing hotel&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="radio" name="gotopage"
value="deletehotels"></p>

<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1">

Many thanks,

Jackie
 
You need to post the form to a page that takes the value of gotopage and
then redirect to that page along with the other value, which could be
written into session object,

Hi Jackie,

Assuming that there is a correspondence between the radio button and page
you would use the following script:

server.redirect request.form("gotopage") & ".htm"
