response.write issue

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

This should be incredibly easy. But, I am having issues with the following.
Why am I not getting the value to write out? Thanks.

<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<% Response.Buffer = True %>

<html>
<head>
<title>testing</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>

<FORM name="testing" target="_top" action="testing.asp">
<select name="testing">
<option value="first" selected>first</option>
<option value="second">second</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</FORM>

<%
strtesting = request.form("testing")
response.write (strtesting)
%>

</body>
</html>

Remove the parenthesis and it should work. :0)

response.write strtesting

Probably because you have two 'testing' items. But you don't say what error
is occurring, is it not writing anything?
(Adding parentheses is also a problem for VBScript subs but if there is only
one argument it doesn't usually matter.)
