        <br /><br />
        <input type="Submit">
        <input type="reset">
    </form>


if any 1 finds prob then tell me.

I have a suspision that the page this code lives on is NOT "holidayresponse.aspx". If that's the case, then the problem is that ASP.NET is not designed to post to other pages. It uses the postback model. You need to process the data on this page, then do what you need (redirect to another page or whatever else is desired).

ive read this code from the book begining asp.net from wrox
they r doing this in the chapter no 3 and doing in the same way
they set the action = "holidayresponse.aspx"
will it that working in this style or not

Which version of the book are you talking about? I am looking at Beginning ASp.NET 1.1 with VB.NET 2003 (I also have the c# version) and I see nothing in chapter 3 that says you can do a form action to another page. In fact on Page 74 they go over the <form> tag in ASP.NET. In addition- they go out of their way on page 81 to point out that the form tag in the source has the action tag added automatically by ASP.NET to point back at the same page.

If you look at all the examples in chapter 3- they all say <form runat="server">. At no time are they setting the action.

i think its 2001 version and i have this code in that book. from ur advice i concluded that we can't set any forms action to the other page. wht we can do is process the details on the same page and then go to the next page with response.redirect.
is that true.

You can't post to another page. The view state for the page
will not sync with the control definitions in that page.
