form handling; URL generation
When you submit a form to an ASP page, the Request.Form object is
populated will all the form input files.
If you have <INPUT NAME=txt1> in your HTML and it posts to an ASP page,
you can access the data that was entered into this field by using this in
your VBScript on your ASP page:
'---------------------------
Dim myVar
myVar = Request.Form("txt1")
'do something with myVar
'---------------------------
This is how you process forms in ASP.
I suggest you get a book on ASP and learn the basics. Using the Response
and Request objects are the basic fundamentals of ASP.
