The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Using Image Type For Form Submit in ASP Returning Odd Statements

Asked by WavyGravy in Active Server Pages (ASP)

I am currently developing a CMS with plain jane ASP tied to a Access database.  Not the best idea, but it's not my choice.

Anyway, one issue I am running into is creating the administration interface.  More specifically, using images as buttons for adding and deleting articles out of the system.  Essentially, it works like this, a page returns a list of articles in the database, and each one has the option for the user to either delete or modify it.  The code for each row is as follows:

<tr>
<FORM action="articleEdit.asp" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="articleID" value="<%= rsArticles("ArticleID") %>"  />
<td><input type="image"  name="submitEdit" src="../images/icons/link_edit.gif" value="editLink" /></td>
<td><input type="image" name="submitDelete" src="../images/icons/link_delete.gif" value="deleteLink" /></td>
</FORM>
<td><%= rsArticles("ArticleTitle") %></td>
<td><%= rsArticles("ArticleDescription") %></td>
</tr>

Now, this is all peaches and cream until I pass the values to the articleEdit page which is supposed to populate the corresponding fields for the article into text and textarea inputs.  The SQL statement on articleEdit.asp is as follows:

updateSQL = "SELECT content.ArticleID, content.ArticleTitle, content.ArticleDescription, content.ArticleContent FROM content WHERE content.ArticleID = "& Request.Form("articleID")

However, this is what is actually returned for articleID:

articleID=1&submitEdit.x=7&submitEdit.y=11

The first "1" is correct, but the rest of the statement is mucking up the SQL statement.  Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
