F.2.3- General Information on Data Returned from Forms

General Information on Data Returned from Forms

Before we begin to work with more complicated forms, it'simportant to understand the syntax that forms use to return data to the server.

The data starts with the URL of the page to which the datais sent. Following that is a question mark, which separates the URL from thedata. The data from the form is then presented as the DataName followed by anequal sign and then the DataValue. If there is more than one piece of data,there will be an & separating each DataName= DataValue.

For example, if we send two values to page MyResponse.asp via the GETmethod, we'll see the following in the QueryString:

MyResponse.asp?DataName1=DataValue1&DataName2=DataValue2
