Error with QueryString. Help please!

[iKhristosi]

I have a form that has 3 submit buttons. They all call the same .asp file, but different information is processed depending on which button is pressed. Is there a way for me to check which button was pressed using the QueryString?
Here's the code I'm currently trying, but I am getting an error on the server:


On Error Resume Next

For each item in Request.QueryString()

If item = "submitIt" Then
ObjSendMail.To = Request.QueryString("SupEmail")
ObjSendMail.Subject = "foobar"
ObjSendMail.From = Request.QueryString("ReqEmail")
body = "blah"
ElseIf item = "approveIt" Then
ObjSendMail.To = "Christian.Grise@usa.dupont.com
ObjSendMail.Subject = "bar"
ObjSendMail.Cc = Request.QueryString("ReqEmail")
ObjSendMail.From = Request.QueryString("SupEmail")
body = "blahdy"
ElseIf item = "denyIt" Then
ObjSendMail.To = Request.QueryString("ReqEmail")
ObjSendMail.Subject = "foo"
ObjSendMail.From = Request.QueryString("SupEmail")
body = "blah blah"
End If
Next


Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Do you use asp or asp.net ?
What is the server error?
are you sure that you made the form action = GET not POST ?
Why do you use foreach? whay don't just explicitly check for the key name that you need?

I think I'm just using asp.
The server error is the generic, "There may be an error in your code" type of error.
I'm positive the form is GET.
I tried explicitly checking for the key name. That also didnt work.

If you attach a complete asp page that has a problem, this will make it easier to trace. Maybe the problem is with the HTML. Can you post the asp page after removing any irrelevant code ?

Been a long time since I've done any regular asp, however, usually a querystring item is made up of a key/value pair - for example:
example.com?someKey=value
So you can request "Request.QueryString("someKey") and get "value" returned.

I am not sure it is possible to iterate via a for each over a querystring's items the way you do?
Perhaps it is in asp?

What happens if you try to request the querystring on your three buttons form names after being submitted?

I believe the problem is when I check for the other 2 buttons. Since they were not clicked, they are not sent to the QueryString and I believe that is where the error is occuring.

Removing On Error Resume Next can help you identify the source of the error. This is a really bad statement.
Also check the line number in the server error.

I believe the problem is when I check for the other 2 buttons. Since they were not clicked, they are not sent to the QueryString and I believe that is where the error is occuring.

My immediately thought is that only the button which was the one triggered should be the one with a value. That is how you know which button was used.

But I'm still unsure whether you do do "for each item" in a Querystring collection and then ask whether the item equals a string, when I think the item should be a key/value collection.
I'd think you have to iterate over each key, and then ask for that keys value.
