determining type of form input value...

[redgorilla]

Hi,

I'm trying to determine the type of a form value.

E.g., if I have various form values and one of them is <input type=hidden name=test value='test'>

How can I determine what the type is?

Thanks!

do you mean whether the original form had the variable hidden or drop down etc. You could always use a naming convention.

I'm trying to determine which field variables are of type "hidden". How would I go about that? Can you give me a quick example?

If you create a form which is a get, not post you will see that the url string just gives the name and the value.

If it's coming from your form you should now at design time therefore your script would know. If the problem is that you have a several forms ie page 1 collects name and address, page 2 collects other info, page 3 collects payment info then have a variable called "pageno" and make assumptions based on the pageno.

Guess I've never needed to know what type of form control I've used. Maybe if you post more info I might understand the "business problem" you are trying to solve.
