loop through values from a form

[esthera]

I use the following code to loop through values of a form:

For Each obj in request.form
body = body & obj & " : " & request.form(obj) & vbCrLf
Next
How can I make tit that it gets the values from the form in the same order as they are on the form?

you could request.form piece by piece....but that would be the hard way i'm sure....i don't know of any other way.

[esthera]

it's a huge form. Any easier way?

[chrismartz]

try:

<%
'loop through the request.form fields and output the information
For Each field In Request.Form
%>
<%= field %><br />
<%= request.form(field) %>
<% next %>

[esthera]

that's what I'm doing. It isn't in order.

[chrismartz]

hm....i tried it and it worked :confused:

[chrismartz]

you have given all your form elements a name and value, correct?

[esthera]

yes. I get the name and value but just not in the same order as it is in the form.

There is no way to gurantee or predict the order that the form values will be interpreted in a for each loop. Since it's a large form, I'd put all the names of the form elements in an array and do domething like this:

Dim arElements
Dim i

arElements = Array("First", "Last", "DOB", "SSN", "CreditCard", "CCNumber", "totalOrder")

For i = 0 to ubound(arElements)
body = body & arElements(i) & " : " & request.form(arElements(i))
Next
