<FORM ACTION="getpost.asp" METHOD="get">
	<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Text" VALUE="Hello World"></INPUT>
	<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Use Get"></INPUT>
</FORM>

<FORM ACTION="getpost.asp" METHOD="post">

<% If Request.QueryString("Text") <> "" Then %>
	The text in the box was "<B><%= Request.QueryString("Text") %></B>"<BR>
	It looks like you used "<B>get</B>" to send it.<BR>
	<BR>
	Using "get" to pass information sends the information appended to the
	request for the processing page.  It tends to be simpler and you	can
	troubleshoot any problems simply by looking at the address bar in your
	browser since all values passed are displayed there.  This is also the
	primary weakness of this method.  The data being passed is visible and
	is limited in size to the maximum length of a request string.

<% If Request.Form("Text") <> "" Then %>
	The text in the box was "<B><%= Request.Form("Text") %></B>"<BR>
	It looks like you used "<B>post</B>" to send it.<BR>
	<BR>
	Using "post" to pass information sends the information embedded in a
	header during the request for the processing page.  It's main advantage
	is that you can send larger amounts of information.  It also doesn't
	make that information visible in the address bar of the browser which
	is nice if you are using the "hidden" input type.  The value of this
	type is still readily available to the user by using view source, but
	the average user won't see it or be confused by any information you may
	need to pass from your form for processing.
