asp request.form
I have a form that posts and shows results from a database.
when the page asks for another 5 more, the url adds the url and the query parameters to the list.
By the time I click next 2 times, it adds the full url again and I end up with the form variable twice.
For example. I get id=618408&id=618408.
Then my script doesn't work anymore because request.form("id") comes in as 618408,618408.
is there a way i can set up that no matter how many times it's listed, i should only get the first one?

Some code would be helpful
You should have a link something like below. Just know the code I have is for testing. In real world, you would want to scrub your request("something") instead of sending right to the db.
< a href="page.asp?id=<%=reque
< a href="page.asp?id=<%=reque

right now it's set up with tons of extra code that dreamweaver put in automatically.
it looks like dreamweaver says , 'whatever was there before and then new fields again'.

Do you have a link to the page. Without this or some code it's just a guessing game
I suspect you may be missing a slash from the beginning of the href tag.

Which version of dreamweaver do you have? mx/cs3 or cs4,5,6? The 2 groups handle the automated stuff differently. I would also suggest a little handcoding to create a faster db loading and paging. That can come later.

Let me rephrase the question.
If my url says index.asp?id=618&id=618.
is there a way to request.querystring("id") should only return the first id and not both?

Why hack a problem instead of fixing it? This will only likely lead to further problems down the line.
What is wrong with posting some of your code or a link?
