Does the page submit back to the same page?

Just use ASP to populate the text box with the input from the previous page.

Hi ,

Yes the page is submitted back to the same page and the values which are retrieved from the databases are displayed in the same page.


Here i am using a input box and list box. In input text box i will enter values and retrieve values from the DB. Using List box,if we select a value from the list box and using a submit button which will select values for that query and display the result in the same page.

Also the query selection part has been done in the ASP part.

Thanks in advance

The values which I retrieve from the database using ASP will be displayed in the same page in the table format and the Text boxex are displayed in the top and the retrieved values in the Table format in the down.

So you want to retrieve the text value in Server Side.
So use Server side script ..... what acode said to do

Try something like
[code=asp]<input name="text1" type="text" value="<%=Reque st.QueryString( "text1")%>" >[/code]

Then you'd be looking for Request.Form I think.

Whatever you've used in your query to retrieve the value of the text box, you'd use that to populate the text box again. Of course, since you're on the same page, it be undefined (before the submit), so you should check for that to prevent errors.
