Hi

New to asp.
Sounds simple but couldnt figure out

I have a asp where a person is given options to choose between manager and advisor and once choosen it returns to the file at exact same point and variables are set based on the value returned.
When I tried to use form submit post to another file, it returns to the start of the file instead of exact place where i want to.

If (M_Access = TRUE) And (A_Access = TRUE) Then

%>

<%loginoption = request.form("Login")%>
<%
End IF



<p><b>Choose your Login Option</b></p>
<form action="auth_inc_login.asp" method="post" name="login">
<input TYPE="radio" NAME="Login" VALUE="MG" CHECKED>Manager
<input TYPE="radio" NAME="Login" VALUE="AD">Advisor
</br>
</br><input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>


Thanks

Try using an anchor.
<form action="auth_inc_login.asp#whatever" method="post" name="login">
Then in auth_inc_login.asp, put this to the location where you want the page to scroll to.
<a name="whatever"></a>

this is in auth_inc_login.asp
%>

<%this is in login_option.asp

<html>
<head></head>
<%
Dim Login
Login=Request.Form("Login")
%>
<body>

<p><b>Choose your Login Option</b></p>
<form action="auth_inc_login.asp#topoint" method="post" name="login">
<input TYPE="radio" NAME="Login" VALUE="MG" CHECKED>Manager
<input TYPE="radio" NAME="Login" VALUE="AD">Advisor

IF Login = "MG" Then

Session("sessNtID") = NtID

'set user's access level
access_level = rsData("access_level")

the form in previous code (in login_option.asp) is
<form action="" method="post" name="login">

You put "#topoint" in the action but you don't have the anchor itself.
<a name="topoint"></a>

actually i used the topoint and anchor
its not working
its goes to the start of the asp and gives error

what i posted there was the code which works with
action=""
(I corrected that in later post)

In that the problem is i have to click the submit twice to get the form posted
When I choose a radio button and click first time nothing happens
but when i click second time the code is working fine.

Hi

Not able to get the code to work on single click on submit

Why?
Tried everything(hopefully)

Thanks
