asp_web_howto thread: How to retain a form's contents after it gets refreshed

Sir,
I have developed an ASP application which has a few forms and these
forms have different controls like text boxes, select lists etc. When a
user enters some data and submits it the control passes to another ASP
page in which certain validations are done and if it doesn't conform to
the rules an error message gets displayed. It also displays a hyperlink to
the form.
When the link is clicked the form gets displayed again i.e. the page gets
refreshed but it will not retain the values that were entered. I would
like to refresh the page with the data i.e I want to retain the values
that were entered.
How to do it in ASP. I am using VBScript for the Server side scripting.
I shall be grateful to you if you send me the solution at the earliest.
regards

At the earliest???? Hmmmmmmmm.................
Anyway, the simplest way to do is, is to make a self posting form. That is
a form that has itself as the target. Then use the Request.Form("value") to
fill in the fields again.
Here is a short example:
(Make sure you change thisPage.asp to the name of this page)
<%
' If form was submitted then
' Validation goes here
' end if
%>
<form name="frmTest" id="frmTest" method="post" target="thisPage.asp">
<input type="text" name="txtName" id="txtName"
value="<%=Request.Form("txtName")%>>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
The first time this form is shown, Request.Form("txtName") does not have a
value yet, so the input box will be blank. When the user fills in the text
box and presses submit, the form will be posted to itself. The validation
is run, and then the form is shown again (in case of an error). Now
Request.Form("txtName") does have a value, so it's filled in again.
This is just a simple example, but it will show you the principle.
Hope this helps,
Imar
