Instead of explaining theoretically, I thought that providing you an example of the Get Method in ASP Form will be more useful to you. Here is coding for the same :

Code:

<form method="POST" action="TrialPost.asp">
Name <input type="text" name="Name"/>
Age <input type="text" name="Place"/>
<input type="submit" />
</form>

Hope that this example will help you.

Before doing the Get Method, you should also understand the Request object which can be used to retrieve user information from forms. The following is an example of the same :

Code:

<form method="get" action="trialform.asp">
First Name: <input type="text" name="name" /><br />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="add" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

By using the Request.QueryString or Request.Form command, the user input can be retrieved.

For collecting the values in a form with method="get", the Request.QueryString command is used. The drawback of using the Get Method is that the information sent from a form with the GET method is visible to everyone. It will be displayed in the browser's address bar. And also the get method has limits on the amount of information to send. The following ASP script contains the "trialform.asp".

HTML Code:

<body>
Welcome
<%
response.write(request.querystring("name"))
response.write(" " & request.querystring("place"))
%>
</body>

You can also use the following example for using the Get Method in ASP form.. The code is :

Code:

<form method="GET" action="gettrial.asp"> 
Your name<BR>
<input type=text name=name size=15><BR>
Your age<BR>
<input type=text name=add size=45><BR>
<input type=submit  value="Send information">
</form>

For getting information from the form in the response page you will have to use Request.Querystring command.
