how to retrieve data from a post/get method?

[jfdabiri]

hi,
i have an hta app that uses vbscript. when a link is clicked, it sends data. here's the code:

"<a href=" & chr(34) & "test.hta?unit_id=" & _                                     
                                      
"&row=1" & chr(34) & ">" &  full_name

this link calls test.htm with the data: full_name
how do i retrieve full_name in test.hta?
any ideas?
thanks.

thanks, mark.
i'm getting an error:
type mismatch: 'request'
basically i changed these into .html instead of .hta
i can see the data items in the url in address bar like this:
updateDB.html?email=jerry@isp.net&full_name=JerryKnight&row=1
my question is, when i get to updateDB.html and these items are displayed on the url, how do i retrieve them?
thanks.

I would advise you convert them to ASP pages and use IIS. The above advice will work for sure then.

thanks mark.
this is how the whole string of url on the address bar can be obtained:
my_url_string = LOCATION.HREF
then you can parse it and get the items that you want.
thanks.
