hi.. i have little knowledge of ASP and ive just gone and bought a web hosting package that only supports asp! silly me! anyway.. a few questions.

i see websites such as www.mydomain.com/page.asp and then other pages like contact us etc would be www.mydomain.com/page.asp?id=2 or something.. as if all the sites pages are in one document and just accessed with id tags?

how does this work? any good tutorials for beginners without all the crappy stuff you dont need to know.?

thanks

These are called querystrings. They work exactly like a form field from a form.

Like where you have ID = 2. from a form this would be set up as a form value but as a QS it would be

Dim Result
result = request.querystring("ID")

They're great for querying data. Let's say you want to create hyperlinks from a search that a user did for data, you could have a unique value for each record that was returned and insert it where "ID" is.
