I wonder is someone would be so kind to tell me what the /?scid= means in the example:
<form action="/scid=xyz.asp&fp=1" method ="post">

and what the &fp=1 means.

I can't find it anywhere.

I'm trying to build a login page using sessions using the example at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299987

I presume there is a question mark after the /.

It means that the form is posting back to the default page of the site's
root directory, that's the / part.
It also passes two querystring variables to that page; scid, which equals
xyz.asp, and fp which equals 1.
So if the default page if default.asp then the action is really:

/default.asp?scid=xyz.asp&fp=1

OK thanks. But what is the significance of the query parameters scid and fp?
I see them used a lot but there's nothing in default.asp to use them. Do
they have special meaning somehow?

Do you have the source code for defualt.asp, if so post it.
Alternatively IIS maybe passing any request with that pattern to a special
purpose processor to be dealt with, rather than the normal asp page, which
may or may not receive the request afterwards.
