[ASP/VBscript] Preserve querystring in "get" form ?

[Marja Ribbers]

Maybe a stupid question, but how can I preserve an existing querystring when using the "get" method to process the form.

When using "post" the current querystring is automatically preserved, but when using "get" the current querystring gets replaced with the values of the form fields. So the form fields are not added to the querystring, but instead replace the original.

Use a hidden box. eg

<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="<%=Request.Querystring("foo")%>"/>

Hi Jules,

Yes, I thought about that.
But the querystring is not the same for all pages and I've created a generic way of handling most pages in my CMS.
So I would need a generic way of preserving the current querystring on all pages as well.

You could create a generic routine to loop through the Querystring
collection and write out the values as hidden boxes:

<%
Sub PreserveQuerystring
for each fld in Request.Querystring
Response.Write "<input type=""hidden"" name="""& fld & """ value=""" &
Request.Querystring(fld) & """/>"
next
End Sub
%>

and call it thus

<%Call PreserveQuerystring%>

inside the form.
