*solved* Large text = Bad Hyperlink Parameters - 10/27/2005 10:35:51   
Everything is almost working!

If you try to update one of the larger posts, on http://www.missyandross.com/editblog.asp it does not populate in the form. I know this is from trying to pass a large amount of text via a hyperlink. Is there a workaround, so that I can get the larger posts to poulate?

I can populate the smaller posts with a parameter,
<%=FP_FieldURL(fp_rs,"BlogPost")%> for BlogPost

If I remove this parameter in the hyperlink, then the forms text area is blank.


Should I change the initial value of the text area in the form to something like this:

<textarea rows="13" name="BlogPost" cols="77">=BlogPost value="<%=request.querystring("BlogPost")%>">


Also on this page
http://www.missyandross.com/editblog.asp
I changed it to have an update link and delete link

Update is working, but how would I make it delete the record?

Thanks guys,
lovduv

Like was mentioned before, if a field is large - then you are best to use just an ID to query the database and return the large field text

If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem

Ok, so I set the intial value of my text area to this:
<%=request.querystring("BlogPost")%>

Which in the code looks like this:
<textarea rows="20" name="BlogPost" cols="80"=""><%=request.querystring("BlogPost")%></textarea></p>

But live it looks like this:
<textarea rows="20" name="BlogPost" cols="80"=""></textarea></p>
<input type=hidden name=BlogID value="291">
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>

So I am able to pull the BlogId, but the BlogPost query is not pulling the record?
Is my query wrong?
