pass variable next page

[carranz]

I have a submit button that takes me to the next page
I would like to pass this value to the next page.

<%
dim st
st = Recordset1.Fields.Item(\"dept\").Value
%>

here is my submit button code
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"Login \">

any help would be appriciated

Since you have a submit button I will assume you have an HTML <form>

... and with that assumption I suggestion using a "hidden form element" as follows:
[tt]
<input type="hidden" name="dept" value="[highlight]<%= Recordset1("dept")%>[/highlight]">
[/tt]

another way...use session variable:

dim st
st = Recordset1.Fields.Item(\"dept\").Value
Session("myst")= st

then you can use Session("myst") on the next page...

Is this how I would get the value on the next page?
or is there a different way
request.QueryString(\"dept\")

 

[DotNetGnat]

if you use the form submission method as "POST" then you need to say request.form("dept") on the next page...

if you use the form submission method as "GET" then you need to say request.querystring("dept")
