dynamic form action

[blitzkrieg bop]

One last question and I'll have my old asp page converted:

 

How can I convert the following old asp code? I need to put this logic in my code-behind page.

 

<form name="frmSearch" method="post" action="

<%

if dbCustID = "" then

response.write ("/searchresults.asp")

else response.write ("/searchresults.asp?customerID=" & dbCustID)

end if

%>" onsubmit="return chkSearch(this)">

 

Tried using label and can't get that to work

 

Thanks

I believe I need to handle it this way:

<form id="frmSearch" runat="server" onsubmit="return chkSearch(this)">

<input type="text" name="keyword" size=14 maxlength=50 value="Search here...">

<input type="image" src="/_images/header_go.gif" border="0" alt="Search"></form>

 

And I added this in my ascx.vb:

If IsPostBack Then

Response.Redirect("/searchresults.asp" + strCustID, True)

End If

 

My problem is that in searchresults.asp I have the following code which will not work since I'm doing a redirect from the ascx.vb:

lvKeyword = trim(request.form("keyword")

 

I don't want to put this value in a querystring. How can I post to searchresult.asp like I did before?

Thanks

You can't submit (POST) to another page using a server-side form in this version of ASP.NET. Either use a HTML form, which doesn't run on the server-side (e.g. no "runat" attribute), or re-work your code to postback to the same page, as is the intended behavior of the ASP.NET model.
