The only thing I can see which looks like it would cause a problem is:

.From = "Stuff Website"

.From should contain an email address.

Are you receiving any errors?

Also what might just make it look cleaner and shorter code, you can set your variables when you delcare them. This might help you in the future for debugging as everything you need is right there:

Dim strName = Trim(Request.Form("name"))

Also, with asp, you should stick with declaring the variables with what they are:

int for integer, str for string

Dim strName = Trim(Request.Form("name"))

This lets the server know that what you are playing with is a string or integer. Just faster and less prone to accidents.

I don't think that's valid in Classic ASP, but you could just as easily do this:

Dim strName:strName = Trim(Request.Form("name"))

always worked for me. In asp.net you have to declare it before setting it:

dim strHelp As String = whatever

However, that might depend on asp version. I have never really checked.

This is ASP 3.0 and you can see the error it gives me:

but yeah, in ASP.NET that solution works fine. (Same with VB6 IIRC) ;)

SheSaidImaPregy 28 Veteran Poster · Answer 5 · 2007-11-29T11:23:23+00:00

odd, but okay. I believe I only worked in asp 2.0, but anyway.. my current sites still function correctly with that syntax. Regardless, thanks for the knowledge.
