Looking for an answer please to encoding

Hello,

I have the following page that taps into a database and pulls back a
recordset. Next to each record on the page I have a modify button and
a delete button. I associated the buttons to the records as follows:

[code]

[/code]
and then an onclick event as follows to call this

[code]
ONCLICK="ModifyProcess(<
%=(objRsProcessAdd.Fields.Item("Process_ID").Value)%>);">
[/code]

I am using the get method however I think I should be using the POST
method. I don't know how to use the post method and associate each
button to its respective record. My ultimate goal in this is if I use
the GET I want to hide the URL using Base64 but I don't know how to
apply this to my code above. If someone can help to apply or show me
how to use POST and eliminate the BASE64..either way is fine with
me:)

Thanks

What do you do about users with javascript disabled?

What would he do with users that have internet disabled, Adrienne?

Perhaps he is on intranet, or has only a small users group that has to
lofg in.

Worse is the attempt to do clientside hiding, which shows lack of
knowledge, unless his supposed small user group is a specified group of
technical morons.

For a form-post, use AJAX like technology or do [not tested]:

The code was not copy and go, but helping you understand.

Why not, there is even a forms collection:

var f0 = document.forms[0];
var f1 = document.forms[1];
etc.

"buttons beside any recordset" sorry I do not understand,
I thought we were speaking simple HTML?
There sould be no recordsets in html.

What is "get"?

Please always look at the rendered html code,
as seen by browser view source.

ASP is just a wat to prepare a html stream for the client,
so you have to seperate the two processes, asp processing and html
rendering in your mind.

Evertjan let me explain.

I am using ADO to query a database table via a stored procedure. This
whole process returns a number of rows/records from the table(it loops
through the database table and displays each row of data). Beside
each row of data are 2 Buttons. 1 Modify Button and Delete Button.
When the user clicks the button(i.e Modify) the code should be able to
associate the button with that row of data by Process_id. If the user
clicks on the button besides, let's saw, row 54, then code should be
able to open up information for the process ID 54 etc etc. The reason
I did this with a query string was because I didn't know how to do it
with POST method of the Form element. All this is working with the
querystring however, the security level is bad:) Let me know if this
makes sense.

Did you look at what the view source rendered code gives? You will be
amazed what mistakes are immediately obvious if you do that.

I do not think you need a form for each record,
not even seperate forms for delete and modify.

Say, partly in pseudocode:
