I have the following HTML/ASP.NET code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Ny test</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="StyleSheet.css" />
</head>
<body>

    <form action="Default.aspx" runat="server" method="post">

    Name: <input type="text" id="navn" runat="server"/>
    <input type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit!" runat="server" />
    <input type="reset" />
    <br />

    <%if (Request.Form["submit"] != null)
      {
          Response.Write("<br/>");
          Response.Write("Submit button pushed");
      }
      if (Request.Form["navn"] != null && Request.Form["navn"] != "")
      {
          Response.Write("<br/>");
          Response.Write("Name OK");
      } 
    %>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

When using the “POST” form post method I get the following output:

Submit button pushed
Name OK

When using the “GET” form post method NOTHING is printed out?!

    Request.Form contains information that is sent using POST. When you use GET the information will be in the Request.QueryString collection. In your case this means that Request.Form["submit"] is null.

    If you want to support both then you would be able to use the Request.Item collection which includes values from:

    • Request.Cookies
    • Request.Form
    • Request.QueryString
    • Request.ServerVariables

    However, doing this you may get some unexpected results if you use a parameter name that is used in one of the other collections.
