Then use the resposne.write "My form field stuff" with the database values integrated<br />Response.Write "<input type=""text"" value=""" & rsRecordset.fields("MyFieldName").Value & "">"<br /><br /><br />------------<br />Glenn at 2/15/2000 3:06:20 AM<br /><br />I am looking for a robust way to populate a html/asp form without using client side code.<br /><br />Specifically, I want to populate a html form's fileds with data from an asp...<br /><br />I know we can generate the form on the fly but it does not allow for forms that have fields next to each other and formatted in other than one field after the other...<br /><br />I have used visual interdev and DTC controls with success but this requires client sided scripting and exposing data elements..asp of course hides the implemntation but I have not found an acceptable solution.<br /><br />Any suggestions would be appreciated..<br />
