Form Search Box Question
http://www.test.com/search/jrs.aspx?test=50&scr=1024x768&keyw=cars&url=This.com
The above url is an example... Lets say the above URL returns a form with seach box in it and search button.
How do I get that form to post to the above url with the above parameters?
I really never understood how form posting getting or whatever works, it was very confusing lol.

How do I pass the existing parameters to the page that gets posted?
jrs.aspx?test=50&scr=1024x
jrs.aspx?test=50&scr=1024x
Here's a basic explanation: when "jrs.aspx?test=50&scr=1024
if test is greater or equal to 50, tell the user that they've reached their limit of tests, and since "scr" = 1024x768, show the test results in a page optimzed to that screen resolution.
You could also use javascript to parse the url and make choices based on that. But javascript is client-side, whereas my prior example gets executed on the server and does it's parsing before the page actually makes it to the client.

TedInAK that I understand.
Lets say jrs.aspx has a form on it and I want to use the existing information from test, scr, keyw & url. How can I use these existing parameters? In this case 508,1024x768, cars & this.com .. how can I save that to use it again on another form post

If by save you mean to populate the form fields with that data, best way would be to do it server-side using ASP.net's built-in tools. Is that what you mean?
