passing an ASP value in a link not working

[andycape]

I'm trying to have a situation where a asp value is displayed in a box on a form, if there is no value in the database, then a value can be entered, then a link can be clicked and the value passed to the next page.
Is this possible ? as my value is not being passed.
I need it to be passed to the next page so that i can enter it into the database there (if a new value is given), and then on that page i can always select it out of the database with ease.

eg : (the value i'm trying to pass is in textbox "Declined&quot

<tr>
<td><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;Declined&quot; value=&quot;<%=RS(&quot;Declined&quot%>&quot;></td>
</tr>

<tr bgcolor=&quot;cccccc&quot;>
<td> </td>
<td>A class=&quot;small&quot; HREF=&quot;../Forms/SendMailForm3.asp?MailID=D&quot;>Click here to Decline</A></td>
</tr>

hi andycape,
dear ur problem is general . I give the two solution try it:
-----------------------------------------------
1.u have to use java/vb script in this solution
write following code on ur hyperlink:-
<script>
function clickme()
{
var textvalue=[formname].[textboxname].value;

window.location.href=&quot;secondpage.asp?val=&quot; + textvalue;

}
</script>
<a href='clickme();'>clickme</a>
put ur code here for text box in form
-----------------------------------------------
2. Or if u can use button instead of link then make it submit button and give action on the same page
put the following code on top of ur page:

if request(&quot;buttonname&quot=&quot;buttonvalue&quot; then
Response.redirect(&quot;secondpage.asp?val=&quot; & Request(&quot;textboxname&quot)
end if
-----------------------------------------------
u can use either of this solution i think this is sufficient to solve ur problem inform me

I'm trying to use a link, a submit button would be too complicated as i have a loop creating the information , so each button would have to pass on different results, so i would need a new form for each loop.

i like the method you are using for the link.
are you sure i must use <a href='clickme();'>clickme</a>

because the link actually thinks its looking for a page called 'clickme(); ?

thanx

ok, it should read : javascript: clickme()

but it still isnt picking up the value when i type it into the text box ?

confusing - i cant see why document.myForm.Declined.value dosnt pick up a value when its being typed into the text box. ?? the form and textbox names are correct.

hi andycap,
i think u r using textbox in a loop so it can create the control array of the text box don't worry .if my guess is right then
try it : process ur value in loop
for(i=0;i<myform.declined.length;i++)
{
value=value + myform.declined(i).value
//send the value by the same method which i mentioned before
}
it will works.u can explore javascript more...........
don't worry if u r not finding the properties and method on pressing dot after control or form bcos this is common when ur using ASP code inside control.
nothing impossible.

If the value is in a form field and you want to pass it then you should have the link submit the form...

<a href=&quot;javascript: document.myForm.submit()&quot;>Submit</a>

What are you trying to do again?
