(method="post" || method="POST") && (method="get" || method="GET")

Let's not argue about semantics. Let's talk about semasiology.

Do specifications exist for using mixed case, upper case,
lower case for the contents of the method employed?

My own preferences lean towards the all lower-case
model, simply because it reads a little easier when deployed
with other XHTML semaphorings.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interac...ml#adef-method says
"case-insensitive", so if you are using HTML you can do as you please.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.11 says the values of enumerated
variables such as these must be in lower case, so if you are using XHTML
1.0 Strict then it's lower case only.

Finally, http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/changes.html#a_changes lists no
change related to attribute value case, so it appears that lower case is
the only option if you are using XHTML 1.1.

So it looks like you are in luck, since the XHTML definitions agree with
your preference. :-)

Hello all, I want to use the POST method to submit the form and then grab the parameters in the asp file with request.form("parm"). The problem is that I am using the _search target to open the asp page. When I use _blank target there is no problem, either I use GET or POST method. But when I use _search target, only GET method works.

I have a current web application that utilizes a login to authenticate users into the application. Once I authenticate them, I store away the user's name in a Session variable. I then utilize this check to confirm the session has not timed out (isLogon.asp - which I include on every page). if Session("user") = "" then call setURL() Response.Redirect "login.asp"

I'm using ASP.NET with C# as my code behind and I figure out how to get the above process to work. I've found many examples online for using the 'method' member to "POST", but none for setting it to and using "GET". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tom S
