send form result to asp page 2

[JohanF]

Hi

How do I pass the information from a form to a text file (or another asp file) on my server?
The only variable I need is the users name
<input name=yourname>
so infact the only thing I need on my new page is the name (&quot;yourname&quot; ) the user typed in my form.

Please..I'm an asp beginner, so I would appreciate some example code!

On the input name page:

<form action=&quot;nextpage.asp&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
Please enter your name
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;Name&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;submit&quot;>
</form>


Then on nextpage.asp (or whatever your page is called) you can access the variable via:

Request.Form(&quot;Name&quot

or alternatively Request.QueryString(&quot;Name&quot (when the form method is set to &quot;GET&quot.

You can then assign it to a variable i.e.

Dim username
username = Request.Form(&quot;Name&quot

or show it on the screen:

Response.Write &quot;Request.Form(&quot;Name&quot

or whatever you need to do.

Hope this helps!

I suppose your are trying to remember the user what's the username he just entered, if that's what you're trying to do you just have to decalre a variable that requests the value entered on the input field:

<input name&quot;username&quot;>

<% strUsr = request(&quot;username&quot%>

...
<td>Your Username is:</td>
<td><%= strUsr %></td>

Hope this helps you
