ASP Forms

This lesson is part of ASP · All levels

Summary

HTML forms become the primary input source for Classic ASP pages, with values sent via the GET or POST method and then read by the Request object. The POST method is chosen for sensitive data such as passwords, while GET is suitable for search parameters. The enctype attribute needs to be set to multipart/form-data when a form includes file uploads.

Key points

The POST form value is read as Request.Form, the GET value as Request.QueryString.
Always validate the input back on the server before processing.
The name attribute on the input becomes the key to delivering the value.
Uploading files requires the multipart enctype/form-data.
