folks, trying to pass variable from test1.html to test1.asp.
simplest code possible, even works on our ISP host, but not my web server. please help??

code for test1.html, which calls test1.asp:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>A.html which calls B.asp</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" action="B.asp" method="post">
<input type="box" name="input1">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
================
calls the following - B.asp:
================
<%@ LANGUAGE=VBScript %>
<%
'Turn On Error Handling
On Error Resume Next
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>B.asp</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<%
var1=request.form("input1")
response.write(var1)
%>
</body>
</html>
======================

Comment out your error handling line in b.asp and you should at least get an error message.
Also in a.html, input type=box is invalid and should be input type=text.

Lafin - thx much for your your response!!; i just tested it - turns out it was the type="text" that works. actually uncommenting the "'Turn On Error Handling
" causes error - forget it. wow i will try to not wait 2 years to reply!! i see the files on my server hadn't been updated since data of the first post. thanks again for your reply!!!
