Why?

Expand Post »

i have this problem some couple of days back...and honestly im just new to ASP so to some maybe my problem is not that big...here it is:

im practicing making a web site using ASP and i have on my html two buttons, and inline with that i also used <form> tags for the two buttons. now my question is...why is it that the two buttons are one button apart from each other. what i want is to put them closer...what will i do?

another...can anybody here give me an example how to use javascript in buttons, vbscript will do. thanks a lot guys.

by the way, the two buttons results will have to be displayed in the same form and has to be inside a table...please help me. thanks again.

yeah...sure, here's the code:

<table border='0' width='80%'>
<tr>
<td align='top'>
<form name="form1" action = "twoforms.asp" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="num_student" value="1">
<input type="submit" value="Boys School" id=submit1 name='BoysSchool'>
</form>
<form name="form2" action = "twoforms.asp" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="num_subjects" value="2">
<input type="submit" value="Girls Schools" id=submit2 name=submit2>
</form>
<form name="form3" action = "twoforms.asp" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="num_teacher" value="1">
<input type="submit" value="num_teacher" id=submit3 name=submit3>
</form>

Re: Why?

It would be better to use just one form and use drop-down list or radio to identify data. Fopr example:

ASP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<form action="" method="post">
<type="radio" value="Boys School" name="action">
<type="radio" value="Girls Schools" name="action">
<type="radio" value="num_teacher" name="action">
<type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<%
if len(Request("action"))>0 then
  QueryAction = Request("action")
  if QueryAction = "Boys School" then
    ' do something
  end if
  ' continue with the remaining
  if...
end if
%>
<form action="" method="post">
<type="radio" value="Boys School" name="action">
<type="radio" value="Girls Schools" name="action">
<type="radio" value="num_teacher" name="action">
<type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<%
if len(Request("action"))>0 then
  QueryAction = Request("action")
  if QueryAction = "Boys School" then
    ' do something
  end if
  ' continue with the remaining
  if...
end if
%>
