Passing parameter and user input - html

I am trying to pass a few parameter and a user input to a search_form.asp page.
<form action="search_form.asp" method="Post">
<input type="text"name="fname"/></th>
<input type="submit" value="Update">
</form>
And on search_form.asp...
lname=request.QueryString("Lname")
fname=request.form("fname")
But I am unable to see lname when i place Response.Write("<p>Name: " & lname) in search_form.asp

The query string is not preserved when you submit the form, so search_form.asp will not have a query string. As an alternative, could you include the query string as a hidden field:
<form action="search_form.asp" method="Post">
<input type="text"name="fname"/></th>
<input type="submit" value="Update">
<input type="hidden" name="lname" value="<%=Request.QueryString("lname")%>" />
</form>
And then refer to Request.Form("lname") in search_form.asp.
Alternatively, could you include the query string in the form action?
<form action="search_form.asp?<%=Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")%>" method="Post">
<input type="text"name="fname"/></th>
<input type="submit" value="Update">
<input type="hidden" name="lname" value="<%=Request.QueryString("lname")%>" />
</form>
This should pass the query string on the original page when the form is submitted.

post not send form data

I have a problem with sending posts in codeigniter, reading other posts I set the variable max_input_vars = 1000. but does not send the data.
the resulting in html is:
<form id="0" action="CO_controller" method="post">
<input id="idric_0" value="0.02508800 154401490122">
<input id="name_0" value="val0">
<input id="per_0" value="10">
<input id="unit_0" value="g">
<input id="ric_0" value="0.02508800 1544014901">
<input id="command0">
<input id="mod0" type="submit" value="Modific" onclick="document.getElementById('command0').value = 'modific';">
<input id="eli0" type="submit" value="Deleta" onclick="document.getElementById('command0').value = 'deleta';">
<input id="id_sal0" value="0.02508800 1544014901">
</form>
<form id="1" action="CO_controller" method="post">
<input id="idric_1" value="0.02508800 154401490122">
<input id="name_1" value="val0">
<input id="per_1" value="10">
<input id="unit_1" value="g">
<input id="ric_1" value="0.02508800 1544014901">
<input id="command1">
<input id="mod1" type="submit" value="Modific" onclick="document.getElementById('command1').value = 'modific';">
<input id="eli1" type="submit" value="Deleta" onclick="document.getElementById('command1').value = 'deleta';">
<input id="id_sal1" value="0.02508800 1544014901">
</form>
the operation is correct ie when I click the button, set the value of the command and submit.
in debug, I go to see the variable $ _POST and it is empty
As said in the comment, you should use name instead of id. By using id you are not passing the values correctly.
Unless you have a route defined so that CO_controller points to a method (and not just a controller) this is not going to work:
<form id="0" action="CO_controller" method="post">
Your form action should point directly to the method within the CO_controller controller which will process the form input.
Assuming the method within the controller is called process_form your form should point to:
<form id="0" action="CO_controller/process_form" method="post">
give it a go and let us know how it works

How can I add text to a entered input value

How can I add a string to the text written by the user of my form?
For example, if he wants to search for "test", my form should submit "site:mysite.de test".
(The name where I'm trying to send the string to is q.)
I tried with
<form action="https://searx.me" method="get" accept-charset="UTF-8">
<input type="text" name="q" placeholder="Search with Searxes" required>
<input type="hidden" name="q" value="site:mysite.de">
</form>
How expected only the first value is submitted https://searx.me/?q=test
I would prefer a solution with pure html without javascript.
Here is an ugly way to do that, looks like binding ;)
var hidden = document.getElementsByClassName('hidden')[0];
var hidden_attr = hidden.getAttribute('value');
var show = document.getElementsByClassName('show')[0];
function magic(){
hidden.setAttribute('value', hidden_attr + show.value);
console.log(hidden.getAttribute('value'));
}
<form action="https://searx.me" method="get" accept-charset="UTF-8">
<input class="show" onkeyup="magic()" type="text" name="q" placeholder="Search with Searxes" required>
<input class="hidden" type="hidden" name="q" value="site:mysite.de ">
</form>

Passing multiple values in JSP url

I am trying to pass multiple values in a JSP page url to another one.
The code is:
<form name="QuantityForm" onsubmit="return quantityValidation()" action='<%="basket.jsp?addItem="+product.PID%>' method="post">
Quantity <input type="text" name="quantity" size="5">
<input class="button button2" type="submit" value="Add to basket" />
</form>
How do i pass the value of quantity(the field of name="quantity") in the same URL? i know it's something like "Search.jsp?item=<%=search%>&item2=value2&item3=value3.." but i can't seem to structure it properly. Thanks
Do not put your ? and parameters in the action url. Put your parameters in input tags:
<form name="QuantityForm" onsubmit="return quantityValidation()" action='basket.jsp' method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="addItem" value="%product.PID%">
Quantity <input type="text" name="quantity" size="5">
<input class="button button2" type="submit" value="Add to basket" />
</form>
you're using method="post" which doesn't allow parameters to be passed into the url. change it to method="get" if you want the parameters to be passed along with the url.

add parameters to form url before submit

I need to add a path to a file to the form url before submitting. I created therefore a text field and want to add the text to the url without php.
can somebody help?
the existing code:
<form action="http://127.0.0.1:8080/WebService1/HTTPMethod_1?new_value=value" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" size="30" name="filename">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="continue-button">
</form>
look into using hidden input fields. these allow you to send form data, but not necessarily show a form field.
for instance:
<script type="text/javascript">
function setFormAction() {
document.myForm.action = document.getElementById("url").value;
}
</script>
<form name="myForm" method="POST" action="default.php">
<input type="value" name="url" id="url" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" onclick="setFormAction();" />
</form>

HTML form name replaced with wrong symbols

I have the following form
<form name="input" action="http://testdomain.com/search/?" method="get" autocomplete="off">
<input type="text" name="?wpv_paged_preload_reach=1&wpv_view_count=1&wpv_post_id=205499&wpv_post_search=">
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="">
</form>
However the actual URL displays the following search query:
/search/?%3Fwpv_paged_preload_reach%3D1%26wpv_view_count%3D1%26wpv_post_id%3D205499%26wpv_post_search%3D=test
It seems that special symbols such as ? and = are getting replaced with special Encoding characters.
My question is, how do I get the form to not switch my special symbols with the encoding characters?
Thanks
The name of an input element controls the name of one field. The browser doesn’t blindly mash it and its value together and send that to the server. For a GET request, you can include each one as a hidden field:
<form name="input" action="http://testdomain.com/search/" method="get" autocomplete="off">
<input type="hidden" name="wpv_paged_preload_reach" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="wpv_view_count" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="wpv_post_id" value="205499" />
<input type="text" name="wpv_post_search" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" />
</form>
