I'm trying to make a password registration form that will do two things. 1) the page will check against the database to see if the username is in use and 2) retain the entered fields on the form and show a message that the username is taken.

I've tried screwing around with session variables but I'm having some trouble

1)
Server Behaviors > Check New Username

2)
<%=(Request.Form("Username" & " is taken"%>


<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

Hi

I get the username validation part, no worries.

I can't get the session variables to carry over to the next form though.

Can I send you a link to the code?

write me here if so

Okay,

Here's what I've figured out. I can move the session variables from one form to another, as long as I don't have the insert record server behaviour enabled.

Without insert record, I can't check the user name.

HELP!

hi

<font size=4>
I had similar problem with retaining the form values, got round it like this.

set up your form on newuser.asp, then in the check new user behaviour dialogue box tell it to redirect if name is taken to newuser2.asp.
on newuser2.asp there is the message telling the user that the name is taken and a button for them to click on to try again, this button is linked to
onClick="history.go(-1);
this takes the user back in their browser history to newuser.asp with all the form fields filled in.
hope this helps

Dave</font id=size4>
