 Posted: Sun Jul 23, 2006 2:54 am getting information without using submit |

|
I am trying to use this code to show stock levels in my shop. it checks another website for stock levels when the submit button is pressed. is there a way that i can bypass the submit button and just have the stock level showing when the page loads? here is an example of the code i'm using at the moment
| Code: |
<form method="post" action="https://www.webpage.com/gateway/get_prod_info.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="sku" value="GLAC51">
<input type="hidden" name="return_string" value="[stock_level] on hand, costing [rrp]">
<input type="hidden" name="reseller_id" value="useratcompany.com">
<input type="hidden" name="reseller_pass" value="pass">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form> |
Thanks for your help |

If that stock level is in the database couldn't you just pull that number from the database when the page is generated?

| This is an external database but this is exactly what I would like to do. |

You can use javascript to submit a form onload. This is bad practice as client side javascript can be disabled.
A better option would be to use server side XMLHTTP
Here is an example of posting to a script
| Code: |
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<%
If Len(Request.Form) > 0 Then
dim strResponse,destURL,strContent
destURL = "http://domain.com/xmlhttp_post_script.asp"
Response.Write destURL
'Construct the Post Data
strContent = strContent & "name=" & server.URLencode(Request.Form("name"))
strContent = strContent & "&pass=" & server.URLencode(Request.Form("pass"))
'Construct the useragent and send
set http_obj=server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
http_obj.Open "POST", destURL , false
http_obj.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
http_obj.send(strContent)
'Grab the response
strResponse = http_obj.ResponseText
set http_obj=nothing
Response.Write "Form sent"
response.write( strResponse )
End If
