Yeah here i am again stumped with strange problem- i am trying to fax a web page from localhost using the internet fax service interfax.net, so i've got to put all my page data into a single variable to post it to the fax sending page.
I did all this using strFaxPage = strFaxPage & ("html stuff etc") for a few hundred lines, and at the bottom i use response.write(strFaxPage) and it all displays as it should.
My problem starts when i try to put this data in the form field using
<input name="page" type="hidden" value="<%=StrFaxPage%>"/>
when i use this it writes the data on the page twice, if i take away the response.write(strFaxPage) the data still appears on the page coming from the form field
<input name="page" type="hidden" value="<%=StrFaxPage%>"/>
if i change it to
<input name="page" type="hidden" value="<%%>"/>
nothing appears. Am i wrong but surely this input field can not write the data to the page?
Also when this input field does write the data to the page it comes up with a spare "> while response.write does not do this. It seems like the html and asp i have combined has an error but i believe it wouldn't work at all if i did, and i am so tired now but i have went through it all looking for an error, maybe i wouldnt see it in so much code but i don't think there is one there.
also when i submit to the fax page and use response.write and response.end
all i get is <table width=
and nothing more. Seems like my html is mixed up but i dont understand why it looks fine when i response.write(StrFaxPage) on its own.
here is the general flow of code maybe i am doing something bacvk to front:
'declare vars
Dim StrFaxPage
' some functions to prepare data
' start page and form
<body>
<form action="../fax asp/SendFaxAsp.asp" method="post" >
'check request.form to validate incoming data if all is ok then call function to
' call db and get and display data
<%
FUNCTION ShowRecord()
' call db and pass data to array
StrFaxPage = StrFaxPage & ("then comes a lot of lines of html for table header rows")
' if array not empty then start to
StrFaxPage = StrFaxPage & ("then comes a lot more lines of html for table rows")
StrFaxPage = StrFaxPage & (StrBunch) (and adding the array values)
' use next to loop through the array til ubound
END FUNCTION
%>
' now finish off the form fields and page
<input name="page" type="hidden" value="<%=StrFaxPage%>"/>
<input name="Submit" type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
the above page ending displays the data in strfaxpage plus the extra "> and only sends <table width= to the processing page
If i end page like this:
END FUNCTION
response.Write(strfaxpage)
%>
<input name="Submit" type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
it displays perfect, so i don't know whats going wrong and i don't know how to post the value of strfaxpage to the fax processing page.
