Greetings all,

I use request.form("textbox1") to get data back to page,

dim str as string

str = request.form("textbox1").tostring

But str is always empty after refresh???? I use asp.net textbox
control with form posting to itself.

What do you mean by "refresh"?
Do you click F5 in IE?
If yes, then does IE asks if you want to resubmit the data?

Thanks for replying

I click 'Refresh' button on IE toolbar and it asks me only if I
clicked 'submit' button before that.

What is the value of textbox1.Text?

Then everything is correct.
Request.Form is collection that gets populated only when form is submitted using method "POST"

If you are not resubmitting the data and just navigated there using URL the Request.Form collection is empty.

Request.QureryString behaves a little differently. It will be populated with parameters firm the URL string (the ones that after ? character).
