You don't as I demonstrated earlier in the thread. You post to an
intermediate handler script that depending on which submit button is
click will serve up related info...
You could do it either by putting a select box for the resource you wish
to retrieve:
"getstuff.asp" method="post">
<div>
<label for="e_num">Employee No:
<input name="e_num" id="e_num" type="text">
<label for="r_id">
<select name="r_id" id="r_id">
<option value="1">Contact info</option>
<option value="2">Qualifications</option>
....
<option value="n">Employment History</option>
<input type="submit" value="Go Fetch!">
</select>
</div>
</form>
Then have "getstuff.asp"
[pseudocode]
Switch "r_id"
case is 1: query dB for "e_num" contact info
case is 2: query dB for "e_num" qualifications info
OR you can have different named submit buttons:
"getstuff.asp" method="post">
<div>
<label for="e_num">Employee No:
<input name="e_num" id="e_num" type="text">
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" name="contact" value="Contact Info">
<input type="submit" name="qualifications" value="Qualifications">
<input type="submit" name="history" value="History">
....
</div>
<form>
Then have "getstuff.asp"
[pseudocode]
If POST var "contact" exists {
query dB for "e_num" contact info
}
else if POST var "qualifications" exists {
query dB for "e_num" qualifications info
}
else if POST var "history" exists {
query dB for "e_num" history info
}
and so on...
The query can also be a redirect...

Take care,
