Hello can anyone help me...



I need to put code behind a button so that when it is clicked it executes 

code which adds a record to a database. I have no idea how to achieve 

this, I don't know which type of button to use whether I should use submit 

type or button type, also do I have to use a form??



I have got the code to add a record successfully, all I need to do is 

invoke that code when the button is clicked.



Thankyou in advance

k. i would put all your elements inside a form tag with the action as a

second page and method as post.. for ease of development. then add a submit

button.

when the button is clicked it will go to the second page. you can use just

asp.. no HTML and use your code for insertind a record. the way to access

the data from the form is:

Request.Form("<elementname>")



and then once you have added it you can redirect to a page that says

congrats!!

You'll definitely need a button, and as you are going to need to do this on



the server side, it may as well be a SUBMIT button, which needs to be

included in a HTML form which will then pass the variables onto your ASP

which you will then use to put the data into the database.
