ASP - displaying information from a form on another page

[cochese]

I'm looking for an explanation of how to process user information from one page and to display the info on another page using ASP. Would like to find out how to do this so i can find out how to display collected information on a page using a print style sheet.

Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated , thanks.

Are you after classic ASP or ASP.Net?

Either way, www.asp101.com and www.4guysfromrolla.com are good places to start

if its classic ASP then its really easy, if its ASP.net its probably still easy I just dont know how.

Just look up the <form method, response.write and the request.form functions, I seem to remember w3schools has a quite good tutorial on forms in ASP

...found it http://www.w3schools.com/ASP/asp_inputforms.asp

Also lookup request.querstring too, useful for passing things like product IDs - buit remember this way anyone can see what is being passed from page to page, so be careful. E.g. varProductID = Request.QueryString("ID").

Also when passing form info accross multiple pages (say a 3 page signup form) - depednig on what your doing exactly - either insert the info into the database at each stage or use hidden form fields (again, people in the know can see these values by viewing the page source, so use sparingly) .

Could also use sessions to store certain info (again, use sparingly) E.g. varUser = Session("User")

YOu can also simply use Request("ocuk") if you get stuck.
