client vbscript variable ---> asp 1

[loganswell]

Hi,

How is it possible to send the value of a client side vbscript variable to an asp page? There doesn't seem to be a way of doing this using an html form.

All I want is to be able to click a "submit" type button an send the value of a variable to asp.

Can anyone help me please? Thank you

sure, on the receiving page, just say:

<%myASPVariableName = request.form(&quot;theElementName&quot;)%>

where "theElementName" is the name of the form element that has the value that you want to pick up on the form...

example of the form on the sending page:

<form action=post action=&quot;thePage.asp&quot; name=theForm>
  <input type=text name=theElementName>
</form>

hope it helps!

And then I read the title of your post...

in order to assign the client vbscript variable to the form element, just say...

<script language=vbscript>
document.theForm.theElementName.value = theValue
</script>
