When debugging ASP pages it can be very useful to see exactly
what data is being sent when a form is posted. For that reason, I decided to create a handy little function
that will display all of the form variable names and values. This function, FormDataDump()
has the
following definition:
Sub FormDataDump(bolShowOutput, bolEndPageExecution)
|
These two input parameters are Boolean values. bolShowOutput
, if True, will dump out the form
field names and values for all to see. This has the effect of making your HTML page uglier and harder to
read - therefore, if you are testing on a live site, you should set this value to False, in which case the
form field names and values will be outputted inside of an HTML comment tag (<!-- form field names and
values -->
), so that they can only be seen via
a View/Source.
The second parameter, bolEndPageExecution
, determines whether or not a Response.End
is
issued in the FormDataDump()
function. Response.End
, if issued, ends the processing
of the ASP page.
Below you will find the complete code for the FormDataDump()
function.

That's it! To call the function, simply use:
Call FormDataDump(TrueOrFalse, TrueOrFalse)

Happy Programming!
