Code:

<%
	if Not IsEmpty(Request.Form) then
		response.write(request.form("text1"))
		response.write("<br> + <br>")
                response.write(request.form("text2"))
	end if

--> Moved to ASP Forum

You can check to see if the Request.Form collection contains values and then test the length of each value, eg:

Code:

<%
Dim whichValue
If Request.Form.Count > 0 Then
    If Len(Trim(Request.Form("text1"))) > 0 Then
           whichValue = Request.Form("text1")
    Else
           whichValue = Request.Form("text2")
    End If
End If
%>

What exactly do you need to do?

i want to give specific process for each form submitted

something like this

if (form1 submitted) then
do process x
end if

if (form2 submitted) then
do process y
end if

the problem is when i use
if(request.form) <-- i want this to respond to specific form only

You could use submit buttons to submit teh forms and then test the value of the submit button, eg:

Code:

<html>
<%
If Request.Form("btnsubmit") = "Submit Form 1" Then
	'Form 1 submitted
Else
	'Form 2 Submitted
End IF
%>
<body>
  <table id="table1">
    <tr>
      <td>
        <form name="test1" id="test1" action="test2.asp" method="post">
          	<input id="text1" name="text1" type="Text">
          	<input type="submit" value="Submit Form 1" name="btnSubmit">
        </form>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <br>
  <hr>
  <br>
  <table id="table2">
    <tr>
      <td>
        <form name="test2" id="test2" action="test2.asp" method="post">
          	<input id="text2" name="text2" type="text">
         	<input type="submit" value="Submit Form 2" name="btnSubmit">
        </form>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</body>

You're welcome, glad it helped!! With regards using a hyperlink, I dont think that is possible but one option would be to style your buttons to look like links:

Code:

<html>
<style type="text/css">
  .button-link
  {
  	cursor: hand;
    border: none;
    background-color: transparent;
    text-decoration: underline;
    padding: 0;
  }

  .link
  {
    color: blue;
    font-size: 1em;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-family: Arial;
  }
</style>


<%
If Request.Form("btnsubmit") = "Submit Form 1" Then
	'Form 1 submitted
Else
	'Form 2 Submitted
End IF
%>
<body>
  <table id="table1">
    <tr>
      <td>
        <form name="test1" id="test1" action="test2.asp" method="post">
          	<input id="text1" name="text1" type="Text">
          	<input type="submit" value="Submit Form 1" name="btnSubmit" class="button-link link">
        </form>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <br>
  <hr>
  <br>
  <table id="table2">
    <tr>
      <td>
        <form name="test2" id="test2" action="test2.asp" method="post">
          	<input id="text2" name="text2" type="text">
         	<input type="submit" value="Submit Form 2" name="btnSubmit" class="button-link link">
        </form>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</body>
