how to go to a different page in asp?

[wvdba]

hi.
i have a page (page1.asp) with two input text boxes in a form with post method and a submit button.
the submit button's action is the page itself (page1.asp)
the goal is to check the value of box1 and box2
if box1 = box2 then
go to page3
else
go to page4
is this possible?
thanks.

if box1 = box2 then
   response.redirect("page3.asp")
else
   response.redirect("page4.asp")
End If

i tried the above method and it worked. my questions is that can i pass variables with the redirect method? i like to pass at least one variable to page3.asp and page4.asp. is it possible?
thanks.

pass them through the querystring:

response.redirect page3.asp?myFirstVar=myFirstValue&mySecondVar=mySecondValue

or set a session before redirecting and use that session on the next page

session("myFirstVar") = myFirstValue
session("mySecondVar") = mySecondValue
response.redirect page3.asp

redirect does not keep session id. when you go to the new page, the session is gone.

the strange thing about redirect is that if the variable is set to a constant like this in page1.asp:
parm = "123"
response.redirect ("Pagea.asp?parm=" & parm)
it works.

request.querystring("parm")
response.write parm
response.redirect ("Pagea.asp?parm=" & parm)
in page2.asp
parm = Server.HTMLEncode(Request("parm"))
response.write parm
shows up as blank
when the parm is passed from a previous page and obtained via request.querystring and verified and printed, then the above code doesn't work.
