Early Stages Of Search Engine

Hi

My Code




<%

Session("Query") = Request.QueryString("query")
Call Header

Dim objConn
Dim objRec

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")
Set objRec = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")

objConn.Open gsConnect

objRec.Open "webdata", objConn, adOpenStatic

objRec.MoveFirst

While Not objRec.EOF
'Response.Write objRec("id") & "<BR>"
objRec.MoveNext
Wend

'Response.Write "<b>Number = " & (objRec.RecordCount)

objRec.Close
objConn.Close

Set objRec = Nothing
Set objConn = Nothing

Sub Header
%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<TITLE>Search</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" >
<Font Face="Arial" Size="2">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<td width="33%"><input type="text" size="20" value="<%=Request.QueryString("query")%>" name="query"></td>
<td width="34%"><input type="submit" name="Search" Value="Search"></td>

</Form>

<td width="50%" bgcolor="#000000"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

</table>
<%
End Sub

If Trim(Session("Query")) <> "" Then
Search Request.QueryString ("query")
else
Response.Write "<b>Field empty</b>"
end if

Sub Search (searchstring)

if searchstring = "Gary" then
Response.Write "<b>whoopee</b>"
end if
End Sub

%>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Anyone tell me why Request.QueryString ("query") doesn't carry a value???

Gary

In the url, http://www.whatever.com/page.asp?query=somequery , Request.QueryString("query") would be "somequery". To get a named value from a form, use Request.Form("query"), as it looks like you're using in your code.

Hi

Getting nothing back from this....

Search Request.Form("query")
Response.Write "<b>" & Request.Form("query") & "</b>"

Sub Search (searchstring)
if Request.Form("query") = "Gary" then
Response.Write "<b>whoopee</b>"
end if
End Sub
