Re: Formvariables name matching
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2005
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 63585
interpreted = N
texte = I use a this code to create variables of what is sent in a form: [formvariables][text]name_[name]=[name][/text][/formvariables] I then use these variable to make other T/F variables because the form contents change when submitted and this allows me to chage the way the SAME page looks depending on what was sent in the form. [text]var_cat=0[/text][showif [name_cat]=cat][text]var_cat=1[/text][/showif] [text]var_from=0[/text][showif [name_from]=from][text]var_from=1[/text][/showif] [text]var_findin=0[/text][showif [name_findin]=findin][text]var_findin=1[/text][/showif] [text]var_group=0[/text][showif [name_group]=group][text]var_group=1[/text][/showif] then depending on the conditions above I can format my page results. I also can show the Search criteria used. This was the only way I could evaluate What Values were sent in a form and how to act on them. If there is No value for say 'var_cat' then it is not processed. Otherwise if you try and use a [var_cat] in the page when there is no value sent from the form... you get [var_cat] printed in the page. -- Regards, Marko On Friday, 9 December 2005 5:42 PM, William DeVaul
