discusmania · Jun 22, 2001

hi guys.

I have an asp page in which i do html coding and processing, mean that the processing and html file is the same file. the problem is when i submit the form, the data which previously typed will be gone and the form was refresh. How to make the previous data stay there?

thanks a lot

Hello,
Try using this technique:
file getpost.asp
<html>
<body>
<FORM NAME="myForm" ACTION="getpost.asp" METHOD="post">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Text" VALUE="<%= Request.Form("Text&quot

%>">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Use Post">
</FORM>
<% If Request.Form("Text&quot

<> "" Then %>
The text in the box was <%= Request.Form("Text&quot

%>
<% End If %>
</body>
</html>

If you need default value then you could try longer expression in VALUE like:
<% If (Request.Form("Text&quot

= "&quot

Then Response.Write("Default value&quot

Else Response.Write(Request.Form("Text&quot

) %>

Hope this helps.
