button. The second page is activated by the submit button on the first page, and
displays a response. If the input value validates as an error, an error message
is displayed:
<%@ Page

<%@ Register TagPrefix="Mobile"
Namespace="System.Web.UI.MobileControls"

<script runat="server">
Sub Page2(Sender as Object,E as EventArgs)
If Page.IsValid Then
ActiveForm=f2
