Hi,
Can anyone explain the differences between the POST and GET method
in ASP?
Thanx in advance !

The GET method will pass the form values in the querystring, the POST method hides them from the user. You have seen URLs like www.blah.com/some.asp?gobbledygook - those are usually something along those lines. except i dont think that the GET method encrypts the form values, so if your form has a username and password your action url would end up like www.blah.com/process.asp?UserName=Johnny101&Password=MyPWD - not the most secure thing, obviously. As far as I know, there isn't any reason why one shouldn't use the POST, it is not browser specific.
Hope this helps,
John
