Given that this test produces the expected results:
<%
for each key in Request.Form
Response.Write key & ": " & Request.Form(key) & "<BR>"
next
%>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM action="" method=POST id=form1 name=form1>
<INPUT type="text" id=text1 name=id value="1">
<INPUT type="text" id=text2 name=txt value="this text & More text">
<INPUT type="submit" value="Submit" id=submit1 name=submit1>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I have to say that the method you are using to post the data is causing the
problem. What are you using to post the data? XMLHTTP? Something else? Let's
see a little code to help us reproduce the problem.
