ASP / Redirect

I am new to ASP, still learning.

I have a page that has a submit button.

<form action="move.asp" method="GET">
<input type="submit" value="Query">

The form is sending values to the move.asp page. Which will in turn be
inserted into a database. My questions is can I do the insert without
having to go/see the another page.

For example.
I click on the submit button, it adds the record and then goes back to the
original page.

Thanks in advance

re: ASP / Redirect

Ofcourse, you can post back to the same page,

Here is the psudo code for you.
<%
If Request.Form("Someformfield") <> "" Then --Poor mans IsPostback() ;)
' Save record
End If

Render your page here

%>

However, since the OP uses "GET", it would be:

<%
If Request.QueryString() <> "" Then
' Save record
End If

' Render your page here

%>

I thought for QueryString is was preferable to use:
<%
if len(request.queryString) <> 0 then
'Save record
end if

' Render your page here
%>

re: ASP / Redirect

I dont think that approach is safe because
len(request.queryString) can be greater than zero even when the page
is not post backed.

Send the values to the move.asp page, have it do what it needs to do
then if everything is okay finish the move.asp page with a
response.redirect to the original page.

eg. Response.Redirect("form.asp")

You don't even need any html in the move.asp page, unless you want to
report an error.
