Is there a way to display a message during a post to another asp? Example: The user enters data on Page1.asp and clicks a submit button to access Page2.asp for validation. When the user clicks the submit button, I would like to have a message appear. After validation and Page2.asp is displayed, the message needs to be removed.

well you can use some javascript in the onsubmit method of the form - or use a buffer page, or use Response.Flush() to write part of Page2.asp make sure that the message part is in a <div id='clearMe'>some text to display</div> then in the body onload method some javascript to hide the div - something like document.getElementById('clearMe').style.display=' none'
