I have a simple asp file I'm working with that all I want to do is display input from a form on a different page. The page with the form has the text box/area input and a button. Right now I have the button calling a javascript function which will prompt the user with a confirm box then call the .asp file. But when the asp file appears on the screen, the data is not there. I'm outta ideas. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Below is my .asp file code.

<%@ language=&quot;javascript&quot; %>
<html>
<body>
Data from test page
<br />
<%
Response.Write(Request.Form(&quot;date&quot; + &quot;!<br />&quot;));
Response.Write(Request.Form(&quot;contact&quot;));
%>
</body>
</html> wazilian

Make sure that your form method is POST (since you are using the request.form object). -- Just trying to help... LOL [ponder]

try this
<%
Response.Write(Request.Form(&quot;date&quot;) + &quot;!<br />&quot;));
Response.Write(Request.Form(&quot;contact&quot;));
%>
I do not believe oyu can manipulate the requet the way you were.

A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

Response.Write(Request.Form(&quot;date&quot;) + &quot;!<br />&quot;); A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

jsut for kicks and to see if it is a simple formatting issue try this out
<%@= language=&quot;vbscript&quot; %>
<html>
<body>
Data from test page
<br>
<%
Response.Write Request.Form(&quot;date&quot;)
Response.Write Request.Form(&quot;contact&quot;)
%>
</body>
</html>

obviously this is vbscript. as you recieved a undefined error though its leading that the form values are not there. this will work if they were passed correctly. good test A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

that's <%@ LANGUAGE=&quot;VBScript&quot; %> not <%@= LANGUAGE=&quot;VBScript&quot; %>
even so this is not needed as the default is vbs A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

ok, i got it. in my html code, i used the input 'id' attribute instead of 'name' (to compliy with XHTML 1.0). so i switched them to 'name', and it worked with the javascript as well. boy, there is a lot to this, thanx eveyone. wazilian
