I've been coding away at this script for several days now and haven't been able to figure out what's wrong. Once I decided to go back to basics with a simple form and one line request.Form("field") response, I realised that the request object with form method just isn't working.

I've tried writing myself, copying simple scripts, etc. Other asp VBscript objects and methods work, so I know that my localhost recognises the lanugage. Does anyone have any further tests or advice? It's driving me mad. I have no idea why that alone would choose to quit working!

Please post the complete code that is not working.

Request.Form("field") alone isn't going to show you anything on its own. You would have to use something else. Try this:


strString = Request.Form("field")
Response.Write (strString)

Sorry, I was just generalizing.

Silly little things like:

<html>
<form method="post" action="process.asp">
<input type="text" name="car">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</html>


and then processed at process.asp

<%
Dim cars
cars=Request.Form("car")

response.write(cars)
%>



Things like this produce nothing, which causes some big trouble when trying to combine request variables into an SQL statement in a much more complex application.

Weird. That script works perfectly fine on my computer. See what happens when you type method="get".
