ASP Text Box Default Value

[RottPaws]

I've got an ASP form that collects input from the user and then passes it to another page that uses it as criteria for a query that looks up and displays information.

Everything is working, but now I'd like to add a default value to a couple of the text boxes.

For example, a customer may have hundreds of locations, but the master account information is stored in location 0 for a given customer account number.

I've got a text box that accepts an account number and another that accepts a location number. I'd like to set the default location number to 0.

Here's what I have for the text box HTML:
<INPUT id=Loc_No style=&quot;WIDTH: 75px; HEIGHT: 22px&quot; maxLength=5 size=10 name=Loc_No value=&quot;<%=Loc_No%>&quot; >

How do I set a default value? _________

Why do you have the Value=&quot;<%=Loc_no%>&quot;? Just wondering because if you are getting that value for some reason because as it stands now, that is your default value. If you want it to be 0 just use Value=&quot;0&quot;


<INPUT id=Loc_No style=&quot;WIDTH: 75px; HEIGHT: 22px&quot; maxLength=5 size=10 name=Loc_No value=&quot;<%=Loc_No%>&quot; >

That was too easy. Thanks1!

I'm trying to migrate an app I created in VB to the web and know just enough to probably be dangerous. I basically took an existing form from another web app and modified it do my bidding . . . .

I thought that &quot;<%=Loc_No%>&quot; was assigned the entered value to a variable that was then passed to the routine that actually looks up and displays the info. Didn't realize that that was trying to look up an existing value from a db or something . . . .

I guess this is my dumb beginner's quetstion for the day . . . _________
