Is there a 'generic' function to allow me to POST to the same ASP Page.



For example : I have a page called 'WineryPages_Year.asp' and on submitting

a form I want to pass information back to 'WineryPages_Year.asp'



I know I can write <form method="POST" action="WineryPages_Year.asp">

but was looking for a more generic way to post so that if I use the routine

on other pages I don't have to edit the 'WineryPages_Year.asp' every time.



Something along the lines of : <form method="POST" action="_self">



Any help much appreciated

Hi Kevin,



You can achieve this with a bit of ASP, using the request method;



<FORM Method=POST Action="<%=Request.Servervariables("URL")%>">



This will post the Form back to current page, however it will not retain the

querystring (e.g. Default.asp?A=1&B=2)



To achieve that you can do;



<%



Sub showCurrentURL

     Dim strQuerystring

     Dim strURL



    '# Get the querystring

     strQuerystring = Request.Querystring



    '# Get the current URL

     strURL = Request.Servervariables("URL")



    '# If we have a querystring then append it to the URL

     If strQuerystring <> "" Then

          strURL = strURL & "?" & strQueryString

     End If



    '# Write out the URL

     Response.write(strURL)

End Sub



%>



<FORM Method=POST Action="<%ShowCurrentURL%>" Name=TestForm>



If not, it is possible to achieve the same using clientside javascript, but

this method is far better

Are there any ASP.NET events sponsored by Microsoft in the near future?
