Advice on form submission

[xloop]

Hi

Scenario: Inputing new addresses

Using classic ASP i would typically write one page that gathered the address information then i would submit that information to another form which then inserts the information into the DB.

Ok thats fine, no problem.

When it comes to using ASP.NET, it makes sense to use just one page, you can easily gather the information and submit the form to itself then insert into DB, however, what i really want to do is be able to display a confirmation page before it gets submitted, i could fumble around with a panel object and show/hide it when necessary but it quickly becomes messy.

I'm having a problem submitting the form to another .aspx

if i edit the form tag to include action="ConfirmPage.aspx"

it just doesn't submit to that page, keeps submitting to itself, why??

Does anyone else have any views on the best way to handle this kind of scenario?

Many Thanks
Rob

You can check out

http://metabuilders.com.

They have a control that will allow you to submit a form to another page.

However, I suggest sticking with the post-back scenario, and just doing a response.redirect (after you do your processing) to the confirmation page... That's the method that's suggested by MS and others.
