executing a certain bit of code

[nswan]

Hi,

how can i execute a certain bit of code when the submit button is pressed? What i want to do is put the data in text boxes into a database record when the submit button is presses.....but i need to do it on the same page, instead of passing the variables to another.

Thanks for any help

Hi,
Personally i think its better if you use two pagesas you can then seperate the HTML and asp code. It becomes much more manageable.

You can do it using one page, but the code becomes hard to read and thus hard to debug when you have errors. Also you can let the web designer mess around with the laout(HTML) without interfearing with your asp code if u keep the page seperate.

To do it in the same page use parameter to decide if the user has submitted the form.

eg
if submitted=true then
'code to add to the database
else
'display the form
'and other html code
end if
