Hello.
I have a question concerning how to post a form to a webpage in VB
6.0. The following is my webpage. I've already design a function to
collect the following data: desire1, desire2, description, accesskey,
process_on and identity. Have I collected the right data? I've saved
all in a string in this way:

desire1="my first desire"&desire2="my second desire"&description="my
description"&accesskey="v"&process_on="2007-08-23
08:58:57"&identity="1001"

How to post this string?

Source code of my form:

<html>
<body>
<form action="index-text.php?locale=2" method="post" id="validation">
<div id="root" class="txt">
Internaute :
</div>
<ul class="gouts">
<li><strong>Aime :</strong></li>
<li><input type="text" name="desire1" size="48" value="" /></
li>
<li><input type="text" name="desire2" size="48" value="" /></
li>
</ul>
<br class="clear" />
<div class="presentation">
<p><strong>Présentation :</strong><br />
<textarea name="description">Description of websurfer</
textarea>
</p>
</div>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Erase" class="delete"
accesskey="d" />
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Submit" accesskey="v"/>
<input type="hidden" name="process_on" value="2007-08-23
08:58:57" />
<input type="hidden" name="identity" value="1001" />
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I've got a source code form Dave Hansens ([email protected]) but I
don't know how to use it. Please help me.

Hi ,

In my VB6 days i used the inetcontrol for these and other internet related
tasks


Please note the dotnet prefix in the name of this newsgroup ( so you are
obvious asking this in the wrong group )
