Hi

Recently I've been working with different scripting languages like Java and PHP, but now I need to write an ASP application with Visual Interdev. My question : when passing a parameter in an URL ( how can I access it in mypage? Do I need to add a prefix (like $temp, %temp, etc.), or do I have to define it separately? I tried a couple of these with response.write (temp), but I never get the correct output.

Thanks for helping me out.
 
U have to use:
Request("temp") for all variables

Request.QueryString("temp") just for those sended by the command line like your "temp" variable

Request.Form("temp") just for those submited by an form

i use Request("temp") or Request("variable name")
temp is just an variable name... ________

or u may place tha valus in another variable to use it later:

myAspVariable=Request("myHtmlVariable")

in your example:

temp=Request("temp")
Response.Write(temp)

Hope this helps you... ________
