form post not working in asp

I have a simple form that I am sending as a post.
Then on the thank you page, I am trying to get the data using request.form("")
I am not seeing the results.
when I change it to GET, i see the variables in the url bar.

is there something wrong with my form that it's not working?

<form action="thankyouInd.asp" method="post" name="form1" id="form1" >
     <fieldset>

I've tried

 for each f in request.form()
 	response.write("<p>" & f & " = " & request.form(f) &"</p>")
 next

Scott Fell

request.querystring is for get
request.form is for post
request is for either

Did you try

 for each f in request.form
 	response.write("<p>" & f & " = " & request.form(f) &"</p>")
 next

Is the above on the thank you page?

yes. I tried that code on the thank you page.
Nothing showing up
I tried a regular (response.write()) and it worked.
so the page is loading asp

its something extremely strange. i put the code here:
http://www.oorah.org/shabbatwithoorah/index-individual2.html

the thank you page is blank except for this

<%
for each f in request.form()
response.write("<p>" & f & " = " & request.form(f) &"</p>")
next
%>

and i am still getting nothing in return

Is it possible method="post" is case sensitive?

Scott Fell

You have

<form action="thankyouInd.asp" method="post" name="form1" id="form1" >


just to be safe, remove the 2nd line.

Then make sure the action is going to
http://www.oorah.org/shabbatwithoorah/index-individual2.html

However, it needs to go to a .asp page and not .html page. Unless you tell iss to interpret html as asp, I dont' think that will work. So the page should be http://www.oorah.org/shabbatwithoorah/index-individual2.asp

Dave Baldwin

No, method="post" is Not case sensitive. I can see by looking at the HTTP headers that the info is being posted. If you put your ASP code above in the middle of the page, you should be able to see what is being posted.

Dave Baldwin

@Padas, you're posting my version. PHP-GET-POST.php is my test page for showing everything that is submitted. The code he posted works. There's just something about how he is using it.

>> for each f in request.form()
get rid of the parentheses and try again.

<%
 for each f in Request.Form
       response.write("<p>" & f & " = " & request.form(f) &"</p>")
 next
%>
