I've never passed a JavaScript object to an .asp page. Can someone give me the syntax here. I've tried googling w/o success. The object is called buyerInfo. Using jQuery.
<form id="aform" action="formact.asp" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" id="myhid" name="myhid" value="">
<input type="submit">
</form>
<script>
buyerInfo = {};
buyerInfo.name = "Joe Buyer"
buyerInfo.zip = "12345"
$("#myhid").val(buyerInfo);
</script>
-- and in formact.asp
<%
Set buyer = Request("myhid")
name = buyer.name
%>
yields Object doesn't support this property or method: 'buyer.name'.
What is the correct way to reference these? I know the JavaScript object is being passed, but I don't know how to access its pieces. Thanks.
You could get away without using any Classic ASP libraries
jQuery
$.post('/process.asp', {
name: buyerInfo.name,
zip: buyerInfo.zip
}, function (data) {
}).done(function (data) {
alert(data); // Data that is returned by the ASP pae
});
ASP
dim name : set name = request.form("name")
dim zip: set zip= request.form("zip")
Classic ASP does not have JSON or object's (at least in this sense) built-in by default and you have to load other libraries.
I suggest including this ASP JSON library at the top of formact.asp :
https://github.com/nagaozen/asp-xtreme-evolution/blob/master/lib/axe/classes/Parsers/json2.asp
and then passing the value like this:
<%
Dim buyer : set buyer = JSON.parse(request.form("myhid"))
name = buyer.name
%>
