Hi there,

I got here one little quetion which involve loading in the same form.
I got this one file of html which consist of asp codes.

the structure of the code is as follow:

<html>
<body>
<form action="this html file"....>
<input type="image" src="xxx" value="search" name="btnSearch">
</form>
<%if request("btnSearch")="search"%>
statement and codes...................
<%end if%>
</body>
</html>

the question here is how come when i press the image button, the value request("btnSearch") return empty instead of "search"?

thanx

Are you trying to make the "Search" button an image? Why do you need to pass a value in the button itself? Why not simply put it in a hidden form type or the query string of the form post?
