I'm new in asp, and hav a question. I have three forms named, read, delete and compose on a single page, it3.asp as .....

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html>

<head>

<title>Inbox</title>

<script language="javascript">
 
            function deletemail()

            {    

                document.read.flag.value="delete";

                document.read.submit;alert("Delete Selected  Mail?");

               }

            function composemail()

            {
 
                document.read.flag.value="comp";

                document.read.submit;alert("Opening Compose Area...");

               }

</script> 

</head>
 
                <%

dim flg

flg= Request.Form("flag")
 
if (flg<>comp and flg<>delete) then

    %>
 
    <body>

    <form name=read  action="it3.asp" method="get">

                     - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

                   <input type=Submit value=Delete onClick="deletemail()">

                   <input type=Submit value=Compose onClick="composemail()">
 
                    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

                    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

    <input type=text name="flag" style="visibility:hidden">

    </form>

    </body>
 
                <%

Else  If (flg = delete) Then

    %>

    <body>

    <form name="delete" action="it3.asp" method="get">

                    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

                  <input type=text name="flag" value="read"style="visibility:hidden" >    

                     </form>

                    </body>
 
                <%

Else If (flg = comp) then

    %>
 
    %>

    <body>

    <form name="compose" action="it4.asp" method="get">

                    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

                    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

                  <input type=text name="flag" value="read" style="visibility:hidden">    

                     </form>

                    </body>
 
</html>

a couple of thoughts:

1- I don't think parentheses hurt, but they don't help:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

if flg<>"comp" AND flg<>"delete" then

2- elseif is one word, do not put a space in the middle.

3- you mean to say request("flg") = "comp"? It looks like you are trying to compare a request variable to a string, in which case this is the correct syntax:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

if request("flg")<>"comp" AND request("flg")<>"delete" then

4- it makes more sense to handle the if...else statement in the other order:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 if request("flg") = "comp" then

   ...

elseif requst("flg") = "delete" then

   ...

else

   ...

end if

Let me know if this helps.
