I have a form whose number of hidden fields grows dynamically. I employ a naming convention such as <itemName>_Number for the names of the hidden fields.
Here's an example of part of a form:
My problem is how to process this form??Code:<input type="hidden" name="itemNum_4"> <input type="hidden" name="desc_4"> <input type="hidden" name="quantity_4"> <input type="hidden" name="issue_4"> <input type="hidden" name="unit_4"> <input type="hidden" name="itemNum_5"> <input type="hidden" name="desc_5"> <input type="hidden" name="quantity_5"> <input type="hidden" name="issue_5"> <input type="hidden" name="unit_5"> <input type="hidden" name="itemNum_6"> <input type="hidden" name="desc_6"> <input type="hidden" name="quantity_6"> <input type="hidden" name="issue_6"> <input type="hidden" name="unit_6">
I'm not quite sure how to loop through the Form collection to get at all these fields for which I don't know the exact name. Once I get the field name, I can parse it and determine how to procede.
I think this is probably fairly simple, but all the form processing I have done thus far involved only forms for which I knew exactly which fields were in the form. Variable length forms seem a bit tougher to tackle.
Please let me know.
