Hello everyone, Lets say you are making a forum, can you post your content in another file after you click send without being on the net? Example: The submittion file is call "post.html", and for the the data you just submitted would be "cn.html"? Thanks Roland |

you mean on a test server..?
If so yes you can, if the other file is on the same folder just use <form method=POST action=cn.html> If not then use a virtual path from the root or a path from the page like /root/folder/cn.html or ../folder/cn.html ------------- FeRnAN http://www.danasoft.com/">

Thanks for the info, but there's still one problem. When I click on POST I only get a white screen. Here is my codes <form method="post" action="content.html">From <input type"text" name="From" id="From"><br><br> Name <input type="text" name="Name" id="Name"><br><br> Subject <input type="text" name="Subject" id="Subject"<br><br> Message Box<br> <textarea rows="10" cols="25"></textarea> <input type="submit" value="Post" target="content.html"> </form> In order for that to work, do I need to a line in the content.html to receive my posting?

action="content.html" The action= needs to reference a form handler program or script that will pick up the fields passed to it and do what ever you want. You can loose the target= You also need a name= for the textarea In this case, to display the fields with a line break after each using asp, you would replace action="content.html" with action="content.asp" content.asp would be a file containing <% Response.write request.form("From") Response.write "<BR>" Response.write request.form("Name") Response.write "<BR>" Response.write request.form("Subject") Response.write "<BR>" Response.write request.form("NameForTextarea") Response.write "<BR>" %> -------------

Actually, it's probably executing, but you took out the From, Name, and Subject fields from the form in index.html, and didn't give a name= to the textarea so the content.asp has no fields passed to it. The code I posted and the instructions for naming the textare was for the form in your original post. Also, all you need in content.asp is the stuff between the <% and the %> -------------
