Dan, thanks very much for this suggestion. Yesterday I finally found the time to do an implementation. I ended up using SERVERXMLHTTP, which I found out about as a result of your suggestion to research MS XMLHTTP. It works beautifully!
If anybody else on this forum needs to find a way to submit form data without requiring the user to click a button, I'd suggest looking at the following Microsoft KB page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q290591&ID=KB;EN-US; Q290591 I found out everything I neededed to know by reading that page. One more comment: this little gem of functionality will allow me to do many things that I've wanted and needed to do with Web development for a long time. Anybody that is a serious Web developer should take the time to learn about SERVERXMLHTTP! For me, it only took a couple of hours to get it working. - Cynthia Leslie -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan Powderhill Sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 3:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [AspClassicAnyQuestionIsOk] How do I submit form data without requiring user to click a button? If you google MS XMLHTTP you'll get lots of tutorials for doing this. XMLHTTP allows you to submit data to a given web address using either GET or POST and retrieve the results as a string.

Hi - I want to use ASP to submit data in an HTML form to a Web server, but I don't want the user to have to click a button. Specifically: I want to submit the data when my ASP page loads. I believe that technically what I want to do is an "HTTP POST." Can somebody give me some pointers? Thanks. - Cynthia Leslie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ________________________________ YAHOO!
