I've looked through the code in post.asp and pop_profile.asp but can't seem to find an answer to my question. I'm trying to find out how you get the data from a form into a preview window without posting it all. Here's a basic idea of what I have right now and what I want:
<form action="submit_bio.asp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="stuff">
<input type="text" name="stuff2">
<input type="text" name="stuff3">
<input type="submit" value="Submit Bio">
<input type="preview" value="Preview Bio">
</form>
The red code is what I want. The thing is, I want it to open in a separate page, like this forum does. I'd rather not add a bunch of code to submit_bio.asp if I don't have to. How can I post the data to a second page for previewing? |

Have a look at pop_preview.asp and pop_preview_sig.asp to see how Snitz handles it. All you need from post.asp and pop_profile.asp is the preview button.

That is an example then on a seperate page say page.asp you could have the same looks and just use the Request.Form("VALUE") so like
on 1.asp you would have
<form method="post" action="./2.asp">
Phone Number: <input type="text" name="number" size="20">
Signature: <textarea cols="50" rows="50" name="sig"></textarea>
<select name="F_USER_T">
<option value="sub">Submit
<option value="pre">Preview and Submit
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Continue">
</form>
On a Seperate page named for example 2.asp
<%
If Request.Form("F_USER_T") = sub then
'YOUR SUBMIT SQL
else
'Random html formatting
intNum = Request.Form("number")
intSig = Request.Form("Sig")
if intNum = "" or intSig = "" then
%>
you did not complete all required fields
<%
%>
Your Phone Number is:
<%
Response.Write(intNum)
%>
<br>and your Signature is: <br>
<%
Response.Write(intSIG)
end if
end if
%>
That is just some demo code you may want to tweak it or whatever... Also do look at that pop_profile.asp but this is an alternative. |

So the preview button is another submit button? How does it open the new window? I took a look at pop_profile.asp, and I can't find the preview button. I searched the file for "preview" and "button" with no luck. In what file is this actually stored?
EDIT: I found the preview button, but it references a javascript by the name of OpenSigPreview(), and I can't find that script. I had thought that this shouldn't be too hard, but it's looking like making a preview page is quite a feat. Submitting a form using the request.form and such is pretty straightforward. I take it there isn't any way to post the data without submitting it? |

D'oh! Meant to say inc_profile.asp. Search for OpenSigPreview() to find the button; you'll find the OpenSigPreview() function in inc_header.asp (I think!)

| The function wasn't in inc_header.asp. That's where I assumed it should be as well. It's crazy, but it is almost as if the OpenSigPreview() function doesn't actually exist (though I know it has to be somewhere). I've checked inc_func_common, inc_func_member, inc_header, inc_profile, inc_func_secure, and inc_func_posting. I managed to find the preview button, but without seeing what that function does, I still don't understand how the data is being posted to the new page. |

Sorry. Its part of the Mod Document Project.
Function OpenPreview()
Arguments: none
Returns:
False if there is no text in the Message textarea
True if there is text in the Message textarea
Found in
inc_code.js
Description
If there is no text in the Message textarea this function will open a modal dialog box with the text “Nothing to Preview!” and return False.
If there is text in the message textarea this function will open pop_preview_sig.asp in a window with scrollbars 750px wide by 450px high named preview_page and then return True. This preview window would normally contain the text of the Message textarea.
Example:
The following example would open a preview window for an onclick event; i.e. a button or hyperlink being clicked.
onclick="OpenPreview()”

| Gotcha. Thanks for the help. Hopefully the code in inc_code.js and pop_preview_sig.asp will be enough to get this function working the way I want it to. |
