Explanation

This script is called by frmhello2.htm. It uses the form method of the request object to read the name the user entered in the form.

When the user submits the form, certain header information is automatically sent to the server. This automatically included information is retrieved using the servervariables method of the request object.

In this example, we are retrieving the client IP address and browser identification.

The name, IP address and browser characteristics are included in the output page using the write method of the response object.
