Query String Question

[Matt]

I always see people do something like that, and when the link is clicked, it
will open a new page.

<P><a href="profile.asp?id=493">Item 1<a>
<P><a href="profile.asp?id=495">Item 2<a>
<P><a href="profile.asp?id=497">Item 3<a>

I want to know if is implemented in this way:

In profile.asp

<% If Request.Form("id") = "493" %>
contents for item1
<% ElseIf Request.Form("id") = "495" %>
contents for item2
//etc...??

We put all contents in profile.asp, and open different one based on the
query string value for id?

please advise. Thanks!!

It uses Request.QueryString instead of Request.Form.

It's likely that the content is taken from a database using the id.
Basically :

Set rst=GetRecordset("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE id=" &
RequesT.QueryString("id"))
Response.Write rst("Title") & "<br>"
Response.Write rst("Description") & "<br>"
Response.Write rst("UnitPrice") & "<br>"

etc...
