Posting forms displays code

Report · May 02, 2006

I have a few pages that post form contents to another page. Whenever I submit the form it displays the code instead of processing the form and displaying the results. Any ideas?

Do you a URL to look at, but generally issues like this relate to either the
server setup, or some invalid code in a script

Paul,

Sorry no URL....It's doing it on several pages. For instance, I just created a simple form to make sure it wasn't my other code that was the problem (They worked before but I haven't tried them in a few months.) It still posts the code, not the results.

elvalues.asp should contain code which takes the input from your form
and processes it, not which duplicates the form. Also, method="get"
sends the information as part of the URI; you probably want to use
method="put".

<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="elvalues.asp">
<p>TextBox1:<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=TextBox1></p>
<p>TextBox2:<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=TextBox2></p>
<p>TextBox3:<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=TextBox3></p>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit Form">
</FORM>

in elvalues.asp:

<h1>You entered:</h1>
<p>TextBox1: <%= request.Form("TextBox1") %></p>
<p>TextBox2: <%= request.Form("TextBox2") %></p>
<p>TextBox3: <%= request.Form("TextBox3") %></p>

Does your server support ASP?

Hi,

My machine is not processing any scripts...I'm not sure what settings may have been changed...
