[thelist] (parameters & ASP)

[Chris Blessing]

Hehe, not ignorance!  You'll be happy to know I once asked the exact same
question.

What you want to do is change this:

<FORM METHOD="post"...>

to this:

<FORM METHOD="get"...>

If your <FORM...> tag has no METHOD parameter, then add it.  Once you change
this all the elements in that form (all inputs, all checkboxes, etc.) will
travel via the querystring (that's the ?blah=1&blah2=2 part of the URL
you're talking about).

I presume in your ASP code you're using the Request object to get these
values right now correct?  How are you using it?  As
Request("parameterName") or Request.Form("paramaterName")?
