JScript ASP "for in loop" problem... (not .NET)

[Number_Nineteen]

I am trying to loop through a Request.Form collection using JScript ASP:

for (objItem in Request.Form) {
counter++;
Response.Write(counter);
try {
//STUFF HERE...
} catch(e) {
Response.Write(e) & "<br>"
}
}

Nothing happens when I run this code. No errors or results. I converted this from my VB version that looks like this.

For each objItem in Request.Form
counter = counter + 1
'STUFF HERE
On Error Resume Next
If Err.number == 0 then
'STUFF HERE
else
Response.Write Err.Description & "<br>"
end if
Next

This works fine. I assume that my objItem in the JScript for in loop is the problem area?

Are you sure you've set JScript as the language for that page?

Also make sure you've turned off the "Show Friendly HTTP error messages" option in IE since that particular option neatly excises all useful error messages leaving only a raw error page (not a "Friendly" option at all IMO).

Yes... defined JScript. Show frendly is off. The page executes up to the for in loop. So it seems that the value for objItem is null.

No errors. The page finishes loading, but no results are returned.

Try this (it uses an enumerator object):

			<%
			// Create new Enumerator object
			var http = new Enumerator(Request.Form)
			
			// Iterate through the collection
			
			while (!http.atEnd(http))
			    {
			    // Get one item
			    i = http.item()
			    // Show item and it's value
			    Response.Write('Field:' + i + ' = ' + Request.ServerVariables(i) + '<br />')
			    // Get next item
			    http.moveNext()
			    }
			%>

I forgot about Enumerator.

Thank you so much!! I was going mad.
