<tip type="server-side elegance" language="asp">
When you want an ASP page to submit a form to itself, instead of
using the file name in the action attribute, use this:
<form action="Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")">
This means you can move the file anywhere or rename it, and it will
always get its proper address.
You can also set Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") to a
variable in a master include file, and use the variable for all sorts of
things (like my low-budget ASP breadcrumb script, for example).
</tip>
