"request.QueryS tring" to get the value from URL, what's the different ??

If you don't specify a collection to search, asp will look through the
following in the shown order until a match is found.

QueryString
Form
Cookies
ClientCertifica te
ServerVariables

So you could say that request("x") is the same as request.queryst ring("x")
if there is a querystring.

I must point out to all that request("x") should be avoided as it is very
slow perfomance wise compared to specifying the invididual collection
(eg, form, querystring, servervariables , cookie)
