How do I set a variable to the value of a textbox control in a form??

[Burls]

What I have is a value I'm getting from a querystring that is a number. To format the number to be an integer instead of a string, I have put it in a textbox in a form. I now want to store the value from the textbox to a variable that I can pass to a cookie.

This is all nice and well except the following code doesn't work: (keep in mind I'm using VBScript as my ASP language)

<form name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
<input name=&quot;totD&quot; type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;&quot;></input>
</form>
<%
dim newTotD
newTotD = document.forms(0).elements(&quot;totD&quot.value
Response.Cookies(&quot;total&quot = newTotD
Response.Cookies(&quot;total&quot.Expires = DATE + 365
%>

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ryan

You're trying to mix client side and server side code. This cannot be done in this manner.
