2809Implementing forms with ASPhttp://CoverYourASP.com/Forms.aspI think it's safe to say that every site needs a form - a contact or tell-a-friend form to send email, a Search form to search your database, or some sort of data entry form - probably all of these!

Developing HTML forms for entering or editing data on line is tedious and boring work. It is even more painful if you need a data-entry solution that supports both Netscape and Internet Explorer (IE). Thus most on-line forms have no JavaScript validation and barely any server validation.
Forms are great for collecting and handling data on your website. But how can you use ASP to make the most of your forms? Most webhosts provide standard scripts for form handling, but to make your site truly dynamic, it will not be long before you want forms to do something more than the average generic script offers.
Forms are used frequently in dynamic web applications. As a consequence, almost all web programmers have to deal with form data validation at some point in their careers. The technique described in this article will help you help the user submit correct information.

FYI: Note that the above form submits back to this same page. If you haven't yet submit the form then there won't be any values in the text below since they are retrieved from the form. In this case, the values reflected are simply the defaults and are the same results you would get if you submitted the form without checking anything.
In this article we will create a simple HTML Form and an ASP page. Any data which is entered by the user in that HTML Form will be received by the ASP action page and will enter that data into the Access database. After that we will create an ASP page to show all the records entered and to delete the specific records if wanted.
