IsPostBack

timothy.farrell

I have a form that I have users submit information into a database from. Once they click on the button I need 3 actions to take place: 1. I need the form to clear upon successful submit. 2. I need the form the printout a status of the submit: a. Successful = 'Record Submitted' b. Duplicate record = 'Record Already exists' c. Unsuccessful = 'Unsuccessful submit! Please try again' I have the easy part done: if (IsPostBack) { Message.InnerHtml = "Record Submitted"; } Can someone help with the rest? Thank you. Sincerely, Tim

Well if I were any better at this then you then I wouldn't be posting this question. ;) My understanding was that the ispostback event is commonly used for this purpose. What I am asking it to do is to return a statement should the sql stored procedure fire without error. So in other words: If insert record sp insert record = true then innerhtml = Record Submitted else sql error... I'm not asking it to return any of the records sent by the form. Thank you for your thoughts though!! Regards, Tim

Hi Tim!! I thought once a form did a postback to the server, all the info on the form would get lost (ex: text box entries) as a default!! Im not too hot on web apps yet. I saw your post and thought i would give it a try. I hope this helps!! Ramon MCP
