Creating Forms That Use Active Server Pages (ASP)

  You can create ASP files, such as display.asp, to retrieve data dynamically from a data source.
  However, if you want users who browse your web site to be able to add data into the database,
  you must use a form.

   To see an example of Active Server Page queries that allow a user to add to or retrieve data
   from a database, see the ASP Sample Queries page.

To set up a form that uses ASP functionality

   1. On the Insert menu, point to Form Field, and click One-Line Text Box.

   NOTE: This will create a Text-box, submit button, and reset button. The dashed box
   surrounding the components is the bounding box of the form.
  

   2. Right-click the text-box.
   3. On the shortcut-menu, click Form Field Properties.
   4. In the Name text box, type FirstName, then click OK.

   5. Right-click within the Form, and click Form Properties.

   6. In the Form Properties dialog, click Send to other. From the Send to other drop-down
       list choose Custom ISAPI, NSAPI, CGI, or ASP Script.

   7. Click Options.
   8. In the Action text box, type the following filename:

       Scripts/display.asp

   9. Click OK.
10. Save the page as form.htm in the root of this web.
