The ASP Request object is used to get
information from the user.
QueryString Collection Examples
Send
query information when a user clicks on a link
This example demonstrates how to send some extra query information to a page
within a link, and retrieve that information on the destination page (which is,
in this example, the same page).
A
QueryString collection in its simplest use
This example demonstrates how the QueryString collection retrieves the
values from a form. The form uses the GET method, which means that the
information sent is visible to everybody (in the address field). The GET method
also limits the amount of information that can be sent.
How
to use information from forms
This example demonstrates how to use the values retrieved from a form. We use
the QueryString collection. The form uses the get method.
More
information from a form
This example demonstrates what the QueryString contains if several input
fields have the same name. It shows how to separate input fields with equal
names from each other. It also shows how to use the Count keyword to
count the "name" property. The form uses the get method.
Form Collection Examples
A
form collection in its simplest use
This example demonstrates how the Form collection retrieves the values
from a form. The form uses the POST method, which means that the information
sent is invisible to others, and it has no limits (you can send a large amount
of information).
How
to use information from forms
This example demonstrates how to use the values retrieved from a form. We use
the Form collection. The form uses the post method.
More
information from a form
This example demonstrates what the Form collection contains if several
input fields have the same name. It shows how to separate input fields with
equal names from each other. It also shows how to use the Count keyword
to count the "name" property. The form uses the post method.
A
form with radio buttons
This example demonstrates how to interact with the user through radio buttons,
with the Form collection. The form uses the post method.
A
form with checkboxes
This example demonstrates how to interact with the user through checkboxes, with
the Form collection. The form uses the post method.
Other Examples
Get
the server variables
This example demonstrates how to find out the visitors (yours) browser type, IP
address, and more with the ServerVariables collection.
Create
a welcome cookie
This example demonstrates how to create a Welcome Cookie with the Cookies
Collection.
Find
the total number of bytes the user sent
This example demonstrates how to use the TotalBytes property to find out
the total number of bytes the user sent in the Request object.

| Cookies | Contains all the cookie values sent in a HTTP request |
| Form | Contains all the form (input) values from a form that uses the post method |
| QueryString | Contains all the variable values in a HTTP query string |
| ServerVariables | Contains all the server variable values |
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| TotalBytes | Returns the total number of bytes the client sent in the body of the request |
