Hi,

I try to pass a value from a form field to a detail page,

I would like to be able to trim the form field content to pass only the 2 first characters in the string.

The form is like this:

Enter ZipCode:
<form action="index.asp?Zip=<%= Request.Form ("Zip"%>" method="Get" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="Zip" id="Zip" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>


All suggestion is appreciated,


Thank you in advance,

Denis.

In case you didn't figured it out already.
I used your form to pass the value of Zip from page 1 to page 2. The trim actually is done on page 2, at the moment of display.

Here is the code I used on page1:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;form action="page2.asp" method="post"&gt;
&lt;input name="Zip" type="text" id="Zip" value=" " /&gt;
&lt;input type="submit" value="Search" /&gt;
&lt;/form&gt; </font id=code></pre id=code>
On Page2 I used:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;% Dim Zip
Zip = Request.Form("Zip"
Response.Write Left(Zip, Len(Zip) -3)
%&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>
As you can see I'm trimming 3 characters with the (-3)

Also, you use for the Method of GET you use:
Request.QueryString("whateverString"

For POST you use:
Request.Form("whateverString"

hope it helps.
