Want vbscript to execute after submit button is pressed

Hi!

I have the below listed code in an asp page.

I am trying to accomplish the following:

After a user enters their email address in the form's input field and presses the submit button
the vbscript will look in the table for a matching email address if a match is found an email will be sent using the matching email address in the table to the user along with their password. After the email is generated the page will automatically redirect the user to the login page. If a match is not found the no records found function will be called and the user will be redirected to the form's input field and it will be cleared.

Currently, the vbscript is being executed before the submit button is pressed and the email code is being executed before finding a match.

Any ideas?

Hi!

The vb script starts at the line response.buffer = true.

You need to separate your code:

actually, the first file can be a .htm (ie login.htm instead of login.asp)
oops... i forgot to take all the html out of sendpwd.asp, but I'm sure you get the idea
Hi!

I broke the html and vbscript into two pages as suggested now the vbscript is executed only after the submit button is pressed, however I am still not getting an email generated.

I placed two response.write statements. I then took the generated strsql value and cut and pasted it into the query analyzer and got the expected results.

However, I get no errors but also get no username from my below listed code.

Here is my current version of the vbscript.

Any ideas what I am missing now?

Change
  If ( (rs.EOF = TRUE)  AND  (rs.BOF = TRUE) ) Then

to
  If NOT rs.EOF Then
Hi!

I changed the code as suggested.
If I enter a valid email address I get no records found.
If I enter a non-existent email address I get the following error:

ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd'

Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.

It refers to this line of code:

          If "" & rs.Fields("EmailAddress").Value <> "" Then

I think the problem still stems from the fact that no data is being returned from the sql select statement.

I just do not know why.
Hi!

Update I went back to my original code of:
 If ( (rs.EOF = TRUE)  AND  (rs.BOF = TRUE) ) Then

And the no records found is being called properly for an non-existent email address.

Like I said the problem now is why is no data being returned from a properly formated sql select statement?
Hi!

I got the email working now.

So the only thing not working, is that the javascript is not redirecting the user to the login page.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">javascript: window.history.back(-2)</script>

Any ideas?

Or is there a way to send the user to a specific page upon the email being executed?
What was the problem?  While I was looking at the code, I cleaned up the email section.  Also the redirect will work with this:

If rs.BOF OR rs.EOF Then
  Call NoRecordsFound()
Else
  If rs.Fields("EmailAddress").Value <> "" Then
    Set oMailer = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
    oMailer.Host = "mail.domain.com"  'Email Server
    oMailer.From = rs.Fields("EmailAddress").Value   'specify senders address
    oMailer.FromName = rs.Fields("UserFirstName").Value & " " & rs.Fields("UserLastName").Value   'specify senders name
    Call oMailer.AddAddress(rs.Fields("EmailAddress").Value, UserFirstName & " " & UserLastName)
    Call oMailer.AddCC("techserv@domain.com", "Technical Support")
    oMailer.Subject = "Your Password for the ??? Web Site"
    'Build message body
    Body = "Your IP Address: " & Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST") & chr(13) & chr(10)
    Body = Body & "Your password is: " & rs.Fields("LoginPassword").Value & chr(13) & chr(10)
    oMailer.Body = Body
    oMailer.IsHTML = true
    On Error Resume Next
    Call oMailer.Send()
    If Err <> 0 Then
      Response.Write "Error encountered: " & Err.Description
    End If
End If

Response.Redirect("some url")

Hi!

I believe what is happening is the hosting company is somehow disabiling the ability to response.write data from the sql table. Because the script works fine now but if I try to display returned data other than the sql string I get no value.

Thank you for your assistance and patience.
You're welcome.  Thank-you for the points!  :)
