HTML --> ASP troubles

iiNick · 2 May 2011 at 21:06

Hey everyone, I have a school project due, I've done it all, but there's one part that's giving me trouble.

I need to create a ticket conformation page, once the 'confirm' button is pressed, a new window should open with all the details that the customer has entered on the page. However, I cannot get it to work, and I cannot find any help, anything I do try doesn't work.

Here's the HTML that I am using:

Code:

<html>
<form method="post" action="simpleform.asp">
First Name: <input type="text" name="fname" /><br />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lname" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</html>

And here's the ASP, that I am using:

Code:

<body>
Welcome
<%
response.write(request.form("fname"))
response.write(" " & request.form("lname"))
%>
</body>

I am completely stuck, I've been trying on and off for weeks and I can't figure it. Is there anyone that could help me out, and point me in the correct direction?

Thanks,
Nick

I've just tried that, the actual code appears on the destination page. The address in the URL bar is C:/Nick/Desktop/simpleform.asp. Exactly what it should be. I just don't get why it's not working :/

Thanks, I thought it would have to be. unfortunately, I no longer have a webhost. Is there any chance I could do it in Javascript?

I am on W7 Ultimate, but it needs to be able to run at School, which runs XP, but students only get limited useage of the system, and I am 99% sure I won't have access to the IIS server. I shall check with my teacher in the morning as to where I go from here.

Thanks guys,
Nick
