The Request.QueryString command is used to collect values in a form with method="get".
Information sent from a form with the GET method is visible to everyone (it will be displayed in the browser's address bar) and has limits on the amount of information to send.
If a user typed "Bill" and "Gates" in the HTML form above, the URL sent to the server would look like this:
http://www.w3schools.com/simpleform.asp?fname=Bill&lname=Gates
Assume that "simpleform.asp" contains the following ASP script:
Welcome
<% response.write(request.querystring("fname")) response.write(" " & request.querystring("lname")) %>
The browser will display the following in the body of the document:
Welcome Bill Gates

How to interact with the user, with the Request.QueryString command.
Your name:

End If
