ASP Request Object
The ASP Request object is used to get information from the user.
QueryString Collection Examples
Send query information
when a user clicks on a link
This example demonstrates how to send some extra query information to a page
within a link, and retrieve that information on the destination page (which is,
in this example, the same page).
A QueryString collection
in its simplest use
This example demonstrates how the QueryString collection retrieves the values from a form. The form uses the GET
method, which means that the information sent is visible to everybody (in the
address field). The GET method also limits the amount of information that can be
sent.
How to use information from
forms
This example demonstrates how to use the values retrieved from a form. We use the QueryString
collection. The form uses the get method.
More information from a form
This example demonstrates what the QueryString contains if several input
fields have the same name. It shows how to separate input fields with equal
names from each other. It also shows how to use the Count keyword to
count the "name" property. The form uses the get method.
Form Collection Examples
A form collection in its simplest use
This example demonstrates how the Form collection retrieves the values from a form. The form uses the POST
method, which means that the information sent is invisible to others, and it
has no limits (you can send a large amount of information).
How to use information from forms
This example demonstrates how to use the values retrieved from a form. We use the Form collection.
The form uses the post method.
More information from a form
This example demonstrates what the Form collection contains if several
input fields have the same name. It shows how to separate input fields with
equal names from each other. It also shows how to use the Count keyword
to count the "name" property. The form uses the post method.
A form with radio buttons
This example demonstrates how to interact with the user through radio buttons,
with the Form collection. The form uses the post method.
A form with checkboxes
This example demonstrates how to interact with the user through checkboxes,
with the Form collection. The form uses the post method.
Other Examples
Get the server variables
This example demonstrates how to find out the visitors (yours) browser type, IP address, and more with the ServerVariables
collection.
Create a welcome cookie
This example demonstrates how to create a Welcome Cookie with the Cookies Collection.
Find the total number of bytes the user sent
This example demonstrates how to use the TotalBytes property to find
out the total number of bytes the user sent in the Request object.
