Object Required Error? - **** Resolved ****

**aconybeare** · Jun 16th, 2003, 05:02 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to submit a form without using a button, I'm getting an object required error when referencing window and document? Does anyone know why? I thought they were built in objects?

these are the three errors I've been getting -
Object required: 'window'
Object required: 'document'
Object required: ''

Code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% 
Dim UID
Dim PWD

If Len(Request.Form("txtUID")) Then 
	ProcessPWD()
End If

Function ProcessPwd()
Dim rtnCode
Dim theFrm 

Set theFrm = window.document.form1
'Set theFrm = document.form1


UID = Request.Form("txtUID")
PWD = Request.Form("txtPwd")

If (UID = "calvin") And (PWD = "hobbes") Then
	rtnCode = 1
Else
	rtnCode = 0
End If

	Select Case rtnCode
		Case 1 ' Login OK
			theFrm.Submit
		
		Case Else ' Login Fail
			Response.Write("<p>Login Attempt failed please try again" & vbcrlf)
			Response.Write("</p>" & vbcrlf)
	End Select

End Function
%>
<html>
<head>
<meta NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
</head>
<body>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<!-- The Auto Submit form -->
<form name="form1" id="form1" action="../autoSubmit/changed.htm" method="post">
	<input type="hidden" name="txtUID" id="txtUID" value="<%=UID%>">
	<input type="hidden" name="txtPwd" id="txtPwd" value="<%=Pwd%>">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Any help will be appreciated!!

You cannot use ASP in this way, ASP is server side only which means you have no access to the client browser(apart from limited information which it passes to the server whn requesting a page). The only way ASP can interact with the client browser is when the user allows it to by sending information to the server. Once you process that information and send it back to the browser you cannot do anything else with it.

Anglo,

Thanks for that, I'll change it to use javascript on the client.

Cheers
