[thelist] Asking the wrong questions about parameters & ASP

[Chris Blessing]

Belinda-

It sounds to me like you want to use the GET form method rather than POST.
Be aware though that any sensitive data which you transmit via forms will
show up in the querystring, the user's history, your server log files, etc.

This will append all the form values to the URL like:

http://foo.com/query.asp?name=Chris&browser=IE

As opposed to sending them in the HTTP headers (which is what happens when
you POST a form).

Does this help?
