I want to know if the PostBack concept applies to HTML web-based forms,
regardless of what programming technologies we use: For example, ASP,
ASP.NET, Java, CGI, etc...
PostBack means to send the HTML form to the web server? Since most of the
time I heard this term in ASP.NET circle, thats why I raise this question.
Please advise. Thanks!

In ASP.Net the whole idea is to treat a form like you would a windows form.
That is, the same page handles all of the events. Thus, in ASP.Net the
forms are set to POST to themselves and a built in property is available
called PostBack.
Before .Net I never even considered using a postback. All of my forms would
consist of Form1 where the user enters the information, then Page2 where the
information was processed and the user was given a response.
Since .Net I've realized the advantages of that approach and most of my
forms postback to the same page.
So is it a .Net only thing. Not at all. As long as the form's Action
property is set to the same page, it's what I'd call a postback. Most of my
forms look like this......
<%
if request.form("p ostback")="true " then
'note that true is in quotes because it's a string not a boolean
Call processTheForm
end if
%>
<form method=post action="thisSam ePage.asp">
<input type=hidden name=postback value="true">
etc...
</form>

Definately in this instance I think more asp.net - there is a IsPostBack
feature enabling you to check whether or not this is the first time or not
that the form has been loaded.
Of course for normal ASP you'll find it mean more like "and now I want to
post this form back" - ie, if perhaps mandatory fields were filled in
incorrect and you were letting the server validate these or something...
This is my belief anywho...

Yes, I too have been doing this for years as if the user supplies an invalid
value you don't need to redirect as you can remember all the fields values.
<input type="text" name="Email"
value="<%=Serve r.HTMLEncode(Re quest.Form("Ema il"))%>">

greetings -
I have a btnSubmit button with a Handles btnSubmit.click which works great
if all the user does is click that button.
But, if the user ALSO changes a text box on the page (which has it's own
event and autopostback=true) before clicking submit then it fires the text
box event but never fires the btnSubmit event. (I follow it in the trace).
Surely both event handlers should be fired? Any hints on identifying what I

It would be udeful to be able to get the current on-screen values from a
FormView that is databound to an ObjectDataSource by using a callback instead
of a postback. For example:
public void RaiseCallbackEvent(string eventArgs)
{
// update the data object with the values currently on screen
FormView1.UpdateItem(true);
}

After an autopostback event the control that gets focus next
is not the one defined in the taborder, but the first control.
This makes sense becuase the page is reloaded, but of course this
is not the desired behaviour.
I have seen the use of a hidden field, which stores the name of the control
that should get focus next, being set in the autopostback event, then an
OnPageLoad javascript that sets the focus to it.

I know that this has been asked and answered thousands of times. As a
matter of fact, I know that I need to say
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
'Do something
End If
for things that needs to be processed by the web server. I am still
struggling to understand this postback logic, and hope that some kind
gurus out there could help me clarify the confusion I have.

When i have a button and i click on it and i see the web broswer progress

Hi guys,
I am converting a rather complicated database driven Web application from
classic ASP to ASP.NET 2.0 using VB 2005 as the programming language. The
original ASP application works quite well, so at times it is tempting just
to port parts of it over mostly as-is. In fact, one MSDN article I read
suggested using straight HTML wherever possible to make the app more
efficient and less resource demanding.
