Pass text box input to a variable in a window.open stmnt on same page

[iteach2]

Hi Gurus,

I am trying to set a variable that is located within a window.open statement on the same page. The window.open statement looks like this:

onClick="window.open('

https://www.paypal.com/cart/add=1&business=

<%RSBUSINESS%>&item_name=<%RSITEM%>&on0=???

Variables business and itemname are set by data coming from a database.

Variable on0 is the one that is giving me the problem.

I need to load variable on0 with the input of a textbox on the same page, the text box that looks like this:

<input type="hidden" name="on0"></td>

I tried using the session variable but it only works if I hard code the value like this:


<%Dim n
n = 17
If (Session("Session_1") = "") Then
Session("Session_1") = 0
Else
Session ("Session_1") = n
End If
%>

I would like to have n be set with the input of the textbox on0. Rather than hardcoding the 17.

This code works when I hardcode n, in other words when the new window opens the value of 17 is there.

To put it plainly, I want to pass the input from hidden textbox on0 to variable n . Once that is done I will add it to the session and set the on0 in the window.open statement equal to the session. That part works...

Thanks for your help

This should do it:

[tt]
onClick='window.open("

https://www.paypal.com/cart/add=1&business=

<%RSBUSINESS%>&item_name=<%RSITEM%>&on0=" + document.form_name.on0.value)'
[/tt]

Hi CLFlava,

Can you write the code so that more arguments can come after it. I have more options to include after and it looks like you closed the statement out with ")'" how do you write it to so that more arguments can come after..

like:

on0="document.blah.blah.blah & returname=<%%>

onClick='window.open("

https://www.paypal.com/cart/add=1&business=

<%RSBUSINESS%>&item_name=<%RSITEM%>&on0=" + document.form_name.on0.value + "&returname=<%RETURNAME%>&anothervariable=<%ANOTHERVAR%>")'
[/tt]
