...How do you do it? You can add parameters to a hyperlink, but what about the Update and Add buttons?
When users finish an Update, I want to pass a value from the changed record back to a 'Update Complete!' page. But it appears that the controls from the caller page do -not- get passed to the page to return to in the Update or Insert or Delete controls.
Ideas?

BUMP!
C'mon, I know you're out there, I can hear ya typing.
Simple question: How does one add a parameter to the Redirect page when a user presses the Submit button? I see in the generated code something like:
Redirect = "ordersubmitted.asp?" & CCGetQueryString("QueryString", Array("ccsForm"))
...but how does one add parameters to the QueryString or to 'Array(ccsForm")' ?
Ideas?

BUMPED
Checkout Helpfile or online docs for:
- Add URL Parameters to a Page
- Dynamically Redirect Users to Another Page (recommended)
- Redirect Variable (ASP) - how to add ?article_id=" $ max_id
- CCAddPAram (ASP) - in the GET varables
Come on, I found these in less than 2 minutes.
Quote :
ASP
Function Form1_Insert1_OnClick(Sender) {
Redirect = "InsertMessagePage.asp"
}
Function Form1_Update1_OnClick(Sender) {
Redirect = "UpdateMessagePage.asp"
}
AND
Response.Redirect FileName & "?" & CCAddParam(Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING"), "status", 1)

Cute. Very cute. AGAIN: If the docs were clearer I wouldn't have had to experiment so...
1. In the submit button properties in the Designer, I had the page to return to (aka the Redirect). I -assumed- there was a way to simply add parameters to this. Evidently there is not IN THE DESIGNER.
OK, so I -did- try adding to the Update_Onclick event. That does -NOT- work UNLESS you first remove the Page To Return to from the Designer. I dunno why, and the reason I care is that I want to understand the order in which events fire. This is not made clear in the docs.
2. Evidently, the Button_Update_Onclick event fires -before- the Button_Update event... again not clear to me where in the sequence this happens until I painstakingly went through a bunch fo response.writes to suss it out. So my Redirect was happening -before- the variables I needed were being assigned---hence my 2nd problem passing parameters.
I could go on with other examples as to my difficulties even after reading each of the topics you mention, but suffice it to say, I -do- know how to read an OLH file, sir.
If I sound defensive, it's because I -do- try to read this stuff and I don't think I'm being unreasonable in wanting this 'productivity enhancer' to be a bit more self-explanatory.
I see no reason why the designer lets one add parameters to an <a> but not to a form button.
I also see no reason to not document the exact order in which events fire as the page is processed.
All that said, thanks Walter, for trying to help. It is -much- appreciated, even though I seem to be trying your patience.

Suntower,
Be aware I don't do ASP But:

return to
(aka the Redirect). I -assumed- there was a way to simply add parameters to
this. Evidently there is not IN THE DESIGNER.
Not in the Button itself, but that is really not where I would want it, it
is in the Before/AfterExecute I/U/D.
This where we react to different sítuation and decide what extra's to do
after I/U/D, the redirect is part of that (personaly).
Also if you build this, and later decide that for some, I/U/D is not
allowed, your coding stands.

Note: The Redirect variable can be modified in the onClick event of the
Button only if the Return Page property of this Button is empty, otherwise
Redirect will be overwritten in page's code.

You got me on that one. That said.... (aside to Yessoftware) the SEARCH in the OLH is -very- difficult.
Just one of 100 examples: Search for the word REFERER.
On my system you get 100+ topics that contain the keyword 'reference'. Not that helpful.
I've got a thick skin and can take constructive criticism. I sure hope YS can do so as well.
OK, I'm done.
Thanks again to Walter for trying.

Excellent. Yeah, I use this for other sites. Dunno why it never occurred to apply it to CCS.
Thanks for the reminder, sir.
