Dynamicly generated forms?

Speedy · 11-07-2003, 09:20 PM

I wanna enter a number in a input field so that when it's
submited it will generate a form with that number of rows,
is this possible?

I have this code:

admin.asp

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Admin Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<center>
<form method="post" action="signup.asp">
<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#000000">
  <tr>
    <td width="50" align="center"><b>Add</b></td>
	<td width="100" align="center"><input type="text" size="10" name="amount"></td>
	<td width="50"><input type="submit" value="Generate Sign Up Form"></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>

signup.asp

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Sign Up Form</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<center>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="add.asp">
<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#000000">
  <tr>
    <td>ID</td>
	<td>First Name</td>
	<td>Last Name</td>
	<td>Team</td>
	<td>Hcp</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="30" NAME="ID"></td>
	<td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="30" NAME="Fname"></td>
	<td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="30" NAME="Lname"></td>
	<td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="30" NAME="Team"></td>
	<td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="30" NAME="Hcp"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr align="left">
    <td colspan="5">
    <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Add Post(s)"> 
	</td>
  </tr>
</FORM>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Yeah it is possible....Just need to post the page to another page or itself and run a loop that builds the form.

Ok,

so how does the loop look like then?

how do I tell the loop how many loops it shall do?

get the value from the query string or the form element

then do a for loop with the value found above

Request.Write "your form element1"
Request.Write "your form element2"
Request.Write "your form element3"

next

That is the basic idea.......

You could also do this without a client-server roundtrip by dynamically building a form in JS, but cross-browser compatibility would still be a pain, so building the form in ASP probably is the quickest & easiest solution for you.
