Vista - Form Elements - How To?

How do I process form elements from an HTML form that has been submitted to an asp file? I understand how to get the elements in the asp file from the submission, but I wand to be able to access them as follows:

Info first:

I have 10 radio buttons, 6 text boxes and 3 checkboxes.

I need to process the elements (hopefully) in a loop, but I can't seem to get this to work. I know it has something to do with the Document object, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer googling.

I can access the elements by using this method:
strRB1=request.form("radBTN1") etc...

Alas, I have to copy and paste this lots and if I decide to change the form (add/sub) elements, I obviously have to go back and edit this.

Al kinds of snippets, but I just can't figure it out.

I thank everyone in advance for any pointers, insight or help.

There's no Document object in an ASP page (on the server) - that's a
client-side/browser object.

On the server you have the 'Request.Form', 'Request.Querystring' and
'Request.Cookies' collections (all of which are found in the 'Request'
collection).

You can loop through the collection

For Each f in Request.Form
response.write f & " = " & Request(f) & "<br>"
Next

but that's not going to help you much since you need to do specific things
with each of the values.

You could use some kind of naming convention:

for x=1 to 10
response.write Request("rad" & x) & "<br>"
next

There are probably a number of different approaches you could take.
In the end it all depends on what you're going to do with the submitted
values.
