Change hidden fields value using asp
- Thread starter sasa888
- Start date
Do you mean hidden fields within a web page form? You can assign the value of hidden fields dynamically when the page is loaded via ASP. Once the page is loaded, it would need to be reloaded/form submitted in order to change the value again.
example:
<input type="hidden" name="field1" value="<%=ASP_value%>">
Hope that's what you're looking for.

yeah, but it'll be request.querystring. You could use any ASP variable, string, recordset item etc. In such a case, the "=" sign is a short cut for "response.write"
For example:
<input type="hidden" name="field1" value="<%=request.querystring("field_name"
%>">
For example:
<input type="hidden" name="field1" value="<%=request.querystring("field_name"
%>">- Thread starter

Thank you for your response. Can I place <input type="hidden" name="field1" value="<%=request.querystring("field_name"%>"> anywhere in the code? or there is a specific area that I need to put in. It is not changing the hidden field value for me.... Please help.

what you ahve is fine and yes you can write the querystring anywhere as long as per say "field_name" was submitted or manipulated into the URL prior to this call

<p style="word-spacing: 1; margin-left: 45; margin-top: 1; margin-bottom: 1"><font size="2"><b><font color="#000080">Submitter

Yep, just need to be within the <FORM> ...</FORM> tags.
Forinstance if you had
<form method="GET" action="/scripts/Test.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="field1" value="<%=request.querystring("field_name"%>">
</form>
and
further down..
<form method="GET" action="/scripts/Test2.asp">
<input type="submit" name="GOGO" >
</form>
If you now clicked on Submit and it takes you to Test2.asp, you would have a problem as your hidden field applies to a different field.
This is a pretty tricky area, just make sure your fields are in the <FORM> </FORM> tags.
cheers
