Request.Form is blank??

[Bijoy Naick]

I am experiencing a strange problem.. I've got a basic form with
METHOD = POST and ACTION = "saveInput.asp". The form has over approx
100 fields.

In saveInput.asp, I am able to sucessully write out the input values..
For example, Request.Form("userName") returns the appropriate value.

However, to simply the data retrieval, I read the fieldnames from a
text file, store the values in an array. Then I loop through the
array, and do a :

fieldName = CStr(fieldArray(fieldNum))
fieldVal = Request.Form(fieldName)

fieldVal always returns NOTHING.. I know that the fieldNames are read
properly from the text file. I am able to print out the fieldName
before extracting the value from Request.Form.

Any thoughts?

Hmm. Have you tried manually setting fieldName = "userName" and then
getting fieldVal? Have you tried using Trim() on fieldName?

What does this return:

<%

fieldName = CStr(fieldArray(fieldNum)

response.write "The name of the field I'm about to try to pull a value from
is " & fieldName & ".<br>"
response.write "True of False: I need to trim the value from the array: " &
Not (fieldName = Trim(fieldName)) & "<br>"

response.write request.form(fieldName)

response.end
