Passing a string from HTML page to ASP - ASP / Active Server Pages

Hi,

I am using a HTML page as login page and my 2nd page is in ASP. I want to pass the values in the text boxes login name & password to the 2nd page and want to check its validity there. But I cant get these values in my 2nd page.
I have used the code

loginname = trim(Request.Form.Item("txtLogin")) in the 2nd page.

But only blank is returning..

At the same time, I have written the same code for passing some variables from one ASP page to other. It works fine...

Is this a problem due to HTML-ASP link ?
Plz help me...

Hi,

I am sorry that i didnt include the code...

Following is the code for 1st page
[html]
<form method="post" action="page2.asp" id=form1 name=form1>

<input name="txtLogin" size="34">

<input type="password" name="txtPwd" size="36">

<A href="page2.asp" > Connect</A>
[/html]

In the 2nd page:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
loginname =  trim(Request.Form.Item("txtLogin"))

pwd = trim(Request.Form.Item("txtPwd"))

Response.write loginname  '>>>>> Prints nothing...

the problem is that you linked to the asp page rather than submitting the form. You should use [html]<input type="submit" value="click here to continue">[/html] in order to submit the form data. alternatively you could submit the form with javascript when the user clicks the link. I'm not a javascript expert, but the code is something like this:[html]<A onClick="document.all.form.submit()"> Connect</A>[/html]Jared

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0" >
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<form method="post" action="Page2.asp" id=form1 name=form1>
</head>
