A href as submit

[malaygal]

I have this asp code on my page

<%
rs2.movefirst

while not rs2.eof
%>
<input type="hidden" value ="<%=rs2("set_id")%>-<%=rs2("set_name")%>" name = "lnksched"><a href="#" onclick="document.forms[0].submit();return false;"><%=rs2("set_name")%></a><br>

<%
rs2.movenext

wend
%>

that translate to this

<input type="hidden" value = "1-Assets" name = "lnksched"><a href="#" onclick="document.forms[0].submit();return false;">Assets</a>


<input type="hidden" value = "2-Liabilities" name = "lnksched"><a href="#" onclick="document.forms[0].submit();return false;">Liabilities</a>


<input type="hidden" value = "3-Profit" name = "lnksched"><a href="#" onclick="document.forms[0].submit();return false;">Profit</a>


<input type="hidden" value = "4-Loss" name = "lnksched"><a href="#" onclick="document.forms[0].submit();return false;">Loss</a>

When I click on each link, I expect to pass the individual value, but I am getting this string everytime: 1-Assets,2-Liabilities,3-Profit,4-Loss

How can I pass just the value of the link I clicked?

How where you hoping to do that with no form tags anywhere?

Sorry, this is just a snippet of the code.
I have all the complete tags.

Okay, so we have a small part of the code, no idea how you are capturing the results, and no idea where this;

but I am getting this string everytime: 1-Assets,2-Liabilities,3-Profit,4-Loss

is appearing, because we have no way of seeing the rendered HTML.

Man! We are programmers NOT clairvoyants.

You don't need four hidden values, just one, and assign a value depending on what is linked. Not tested, and my javascript might be way off, but something like this should work:

<input type="hidden" value="" name="lnksched" id="lnksched">
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('lnksched').value='1-Assets';document.forms[0].submit();return false;">Assets</a>
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('lnksched').value='2-Liabilities';document.forms[0].submit();return false;">Liabilities</a>
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('lnksched').value='3-Profit';document.forms[0].submit();return false;">Profit</a>
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('lnksched').value='4-Loss';document.forms[0].submit();return false;">Loss</a>
