Classic ASP and Postback

can't get values when input doesn't have name tag

[humpg]

I am posting a form back to the same page it is on but I am trying to use XHTML Strict 1.0 which doesn't allow the name attribute for the input tag.

When I post back i use the following to get the data

Request.Form( "txt_firstName" )

<input id="txt_firstName" type="text" size="40" />

If I switch id to name then I get the information.

What do I need to do to get the info using the id attribute?

Never mind

On closer inspection the name tag is allowed in form elements just not the form tag.

banging my head for hours for no reason.

Don't beat yourself up about it. It's all part of the learning curve. We've all spent a few wasted hours on stuff that later made sense. :)
