Passing a number across issue

[ro6er]

It's probably something simple but for some reason the quanity isn't being added from this page:

http://eth3r.co.uk/buckles-test/index.asp?cat=biker

to :

http://eth3r.co.uk/buckles-test/cart.asp

index.asp has the following code:

<input type="text" name="qty" value="1" size="1">
<input type="hidden" name="dir" value="<%=rsBuckles("price")%>">
<input type="image" src="images/add_basket.gif" border=0 alt="Buy">

cart.asp has this:

<%
session.lcid=2057
Session.Timeout=50


if not isObject(Session("cart")) then
set Session("cart")=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
end if

add=Request("add")
qty=Request("qty")
del=Request("del")
price=Request("dir")

if add<>"" then
'check if data is no there
if not Session("cart").Exists(add) then 'add to cart
'get data from database this example is without
set recData=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
recData.Add "cart_no",add
recData.Add "qty",1
recData.Add "price",price
'store the cart to it's cart_no
Session("cart").Add add,recData
else 'flight_id exists
'add only the qty
Session("cart")(add)("qty")=Session("cart")(add)("qty")+CInt(qty)
end if
end if
if del<>"" then
'remove from cart
Session("cart").Remove(del)
end if
'store back to session object


'here display your cart
if IsObject(Session("cart")) then

if Session("cart").Count>0 then
cartItems=Session("cart").Items
For i=Lbound(cartItems) to Ubound(cartItems)
cart_no=cartItems(i)("cart_no")
price=cartItems(i)("price")
qty=cartItems(i)("qty")

'calculate total
orderTotal = orderTotal + cartItems(i)("price") * cartItems(i)("qty")

Response.Write "<td><a href=""cart.asp?del="&cart_no&"""><img src=""images/delete.gif"" border=0></a></td>"
Response.Write "<td>"&(i+1)& ": "&cart_no&" </td><td><b>£"&price&" </b></td><br /></tr>"
Response.Write "<td></td><td>Quanity: "&qty&"</td></tr>"
Next
Response.Write "<td><br /><br /></td><td><b>Total</b></td><td><b>"

'print total
Response.Write formatCurrency( orderTotal )
Response.Write "</b></td>"
Response.Write "</table><div align=""center""><br /><br /><a href=""login.asp""><img src=""images/checkout.gif"" border=0></a></div>"
else
Response.Write ("<td><br /><br /></td><td><b>Your shopping cart is empty</td><td><b>")
end if
end if
%>





Thanks for any help, Roger

are you using POST or GET?

have you response.write these values to the screen to see if they are coming accross?

add=Request("add")
qty=Request("qty")
Response.Write qty
del=Request("del")
price=Request("dir")

Try using the

tags instead of red or other font colors. it's very hard to read your code that way

Hi, sorry about the red ASP.

I used post in the first form I should have included that..

I just tried

<%Response.Write""&qty&""%>

at the base of cart.asp and after entering 10 on the index.asp it still brought back 1.

Hmm.

That is what you are telling it to pass though

<input type="text" name="qty" [b]value="1"[/b] size="1">

I think you may want no value in there sense you are allowing a dynamic entry

Ah but no. I tried that before the value just acts as a holder so users have a number to start with. I think its something to do with the session that takes place on the cart.asp but i'm not sure what

I did a small test to make sure the method I was using to send a number between pages actually worked. I made one page:
test.asp

<form method="post" name="form1" action="test2.asp">
<input type="text" name="qty" value="1" size="1">
<input name="submit" type="submit">
</form>

and another page called test2.asp

<%qty=Request("qty")%>
<%Response.Write""&qty&""%>

And all seems to work fine.

><input name="submit" type="submit">
It would be adviseable to not to name it "submit" in most cases.
[tt]<input name="[blue]other_than_submit[/blue]" type="submit">[/tt]

 

[ro6er]

Well I actually used

<input type="image" src="images/add_basket.gif" border=0 alt="Buy">

for the submit that last bit of code was just a test to see if it worked ok on its own without the rest of the code from cart.asp

 

[ro6er]

Doh figured it out all I had to do was change

recData.Add "qty",1

to

recData.Add "qty"

as that was adding a 1 in place of the number sent from the previous page.

Thanks any way
