submit form to another page

[wrbodine]

Hi,

I'm new to Asp.net, and have a button being clicked that should be submitting a form on the .aspx page.

The button code (in page DepositAccount.aspx) is the following:
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; class=&quot;fwdButton&quot; value=&quot;Apply Now&quot; id=Submit1 name=Submit1 runat=&quot;server&quot;>

this is in a form with the following tag:
<form id=&quot;acctApp&quot; action=&quot;Confirmation.aspx&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>

When clicked on, the form posts to itself; However, I need to go to Confirmation.aspx, and get some variables there using the post method. What am I missing here? Is there a way to run code in a function on the 1st page (calling our business logic component, etc, and then still post to the other page? Or do I just need to change syntax?

Thanks,
Ray

Why go to another page to process data? It's more of a &quot;classic&quot; ASP techinique. Use an event handler for click event of your button in page code behind to set/get your variables, etc. There is a bunch of samples out here, including in .Net help.

As the LV says you should use the code-behind technique to process any server side stuff.

However if you still want to go to a different page anyway you can use server.transer, server.execute or response.redirect.

Check out the help for these functions.

If you really have to use classic asp style posting to another form - you will need to write it using non &quot;runat='server'&quot; controls - then the action property will work.

Hope this helps
