This is my first attempt at coding AJAX and what should be simple isn’t. I’m using w3school’s example but I want to pass the form information to an ASP page then give a response based on the results. I’m wondering why my form values aren’t being passed to the ASP script. ```auto ``` And for the validate script ```auto <% response.expires=-1 name = Request.Form("name") if name <> "" then response.write(time) else response.write "No name provided" End if %> ``` Now shouldn’t whatever is in my form be passed to the validation script? I don’t understand, I’m looking through tutorials and such but there isn’t a clear definition on how to pass a form value to the script. Thanks for any help.
