New Poster needs asp form help

[pepe roni]

I'm very new to ASP and I'm trying to get a radio button group to work and it doesn't. Here's what I have:

If Request.Form("RadioGroup1")(1) <> "" Then messBody = messBody & "New" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf

If Request.Form("RadioGroup1")(2) <> "" Then messBody = messBody & "Used"  & vbCrLf & vbCrLf

If Request.Form("RadioGroup1")(3) <> "" Then messBody = messBody & "Remanufactured"  & vbCrLf & vbCrLf

If Request.Form("RadioGroup1")(4) <> "" Then messBody = messBody & "Manufacturing"  & vbCrLf & vbCrLf

here is my html button code:

<label>
                                      <input type="radio" checked="checked" value="New" 
                        name="RadioGroup1" />
                                      New</label>
                                    <label> <br />
                                    <input 
                        type="radio" value="Used" name="RadioGroup1" />
                                      Used<br />
                                    </label>
                                    <label>
                                      <input type="radio" 
                        value="Remanufactured" name="RadioGroup1" />
                                      Remanufactured</label>
                                      <label><br />
                                        <input type="radio" 
                        value="Manufacturing" name="RadioGroup1" />
                                        Manufacturing</label>

You'll want to use a RadioButtonList instead of doing the selection logic by hand:

You are trying to capture an array in your request statement and you have not setup an array in your value settings. You will have to use an if/else statement to capture the values, given they are string values.

i.e. ( If Request.Form("RadioGroup1") = "New" then )
... what it is supposed to do
..... ( elseif Request.Form("RadioGroup1") = "Used" then )
... what it is supposed to do
..... etc..

..... ( end if )

Whenever you try to capture an array, the value must always include an array definition. i.e. value="arrayName()"

I hope this helps.

I think you can try following code to solve your problem.

Dim temp 
temp = Request.Form("RadioGroup1")
If temp <> "" Then
	messBody = messBody & temp & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
End If

If on selection of different radio button you want to handle it differently then you can try SELECT Case also.

Dim temp 
temp = Request.Form("RadioGroup1")
Select Case temp
	Case "New"
		do something
	Case "Used"
		do something 
	Case "Remanufactured"
		do something 
	Case "Manufacturing"
		do something 
	Case Else
		do something
End Select
