What exactly does this do?..

[mrjones]

When a statement like this is about to be processed, what exactly will
happen?

<A HREF="/demo.asp?aspDB=aspDBgoForm::6&aspDBClick=form">

thnx.

url.asp?var1=value1&var2=value2&[...etc]

If a user clicks on that hyperlink, they will be taken to demo.asp

And these two variable values will be passed to it

request.querystring("aspdb") will return ="aspdgoform::6"
request.querystring("aspdbclick") will return ="form"

An ASP page is opened. Offhand, I can't remember if this works like a
from submission allowing them to access the variables with the request
object or they just get the entire URL and parse it by first splitting
on the ? and throwing away the first half. Then split on the & sign.
Split each on the = and you get two variables

aspDB = aspDBgoForm
aspDBClick = form

It's anyone's guess what the page does with the variables.
