What is a Form collection?

The Form collection is used to retrieve the values of form elements from a form that uses the POST method.
Note: If you want to post large amounts of data (beyond 100 kb) the Request.Form cannot be used.
Syntax

Request.Form(element)[(index)|.Count]

Parameter	Description
element	Required. The name of the form element from which the collection is to retrieve values
index	Optional. Specifies one of multiple values for a parameter. From 1 to Request.Form(parameter).Count.

Examples

Example 1
You can loop through all the values in a form request. If a user filled out a form by specifying two values - Blue and Green - for the color element, you could retrieve those values like this:

<%
for i=1 to Request.Form("color").Count
Response.Write(Request.Form("color")(i) & "
")
next
%> Output:

Blue
Green Example 2
Consider the following form:

First name:

Last name:

Your favorite color:
Blue Green Red Yellow Pink

The following request might be sent:

firstname=John&lastname=Dove&color=Red Now we can use the information from the form in a script:

Hi, <%=Request.Form("firstname")%>.
Your favorite color is <%=Request.Form("color")%>. Output:

Hi, John. Your favorite color is Red. If you do not specify any element to display, like this:

Form data is: <%=Request.Form%> the output would look like this:

Form data is: firstname=John&lastname=Dove&color=Red
