How do I capture input on a html form into a text file on ..

Hello,

Yes, it has to do with the action part.

Have you checked the tutorials available at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.w3schools.com" target="_blank">www.w3schools.com</a> ?

ASP Forms:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_inputforms.asp" target="_blank">http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_inputforms.asp</a>
HTML:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp" target="_blank">http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp</a>
ASP.NET Forms:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/aspnet_forms.asp" target="_blank">http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/aspnet_forms.asp</a>

You would get better help in a (for example) ASP newsgroup, or forum,
since this is not really related to IIS.

Hi Kristofer,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I find the wealth of web tutorials on the internet to be very helpful. I
used them to make my first HTML page without any knowledge so I'll definately
check those ASP links you sent.
