[thelist] ASP - actions taken before redirect? (again)

Thu Sep 27 17:32:41 CDT 2001

I've got three pages:
Test has a textarea with contents. Its 'action' is
test2 which ostensibly collects the value of that textarea, then redirects
to
test3 which should display them. But it's blank.

Here are the pages.
==========================
<%
 Option Explicit
 Response.Buffer = "true"

 dim strComments
 strComments = "test comments"
%>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="test1.asp" method="post">
<textarea><%=strComments%></textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
=========================
<%
 Option Explicit
 Response.Buffer = "true"

 dim strComments
 strComments = Request.Form("comments")
 Response.Redirect("test2.asp")
%>
======================
<%
 Option Explicit
 Response.Buffer = "true"

 dim strComments
 strComments = Request.Form("comments")
 Response.Write("comments = [[ " & strComments & " ]]<br>")
%>
=======================

What am I doing wrong?
