passing on variables

[spacehawk]

Is it possible to set a value of a variable in a javascript function and then use that variable in your asp code? How do you do that?

Getting a client side variable to server side is not as easy as doing it the other way around. The only way that I have found to do this is to put the value into a form element (possibly hidden) and then submit the form and pick it back up with

 request.form

when the page reloads itself. You can also do it with

 querystring

, but I haven't used that method.

hope it helps!

You can use querystring as such:

Have the JavaScript page send the browser to an ASP page with window.open(url) or location.href=url or location.replace(url)

but make the URL string like so:
"page.asp?value1=1&value2=2"

Then use ASP to get the QueryString values as such:

value1 = request.QueryString("value1&quot Harold Blackorby

Hi,
what u can do is
have a hidden value as
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=value=&quot;<%=test%> >;

this test is a server side varibale as
dim test
and u can modify this value in java script
but what ever u use the value for thatmust be retrived using
request.querystring(&quot;variablename&quot

hope thid helps you

Hi - I have an interest in this thread too....

link9 said... &quot;The only way that I have found to do this is to put the value into a form element (possibly hidden)&quot;

How is this done - ie how can a variable set inside javascript tags be transferred to an html form?

Thank you

Ok, let's say I had the following form...

<form name=myForm method=post action=&quot;somePage.asp&quot;>
  <input type=hidden name=myElement>
</form>

Note that there is no value initially set. Then, by some javascript, you can set the value by doing the following:

  function setValue(someValue){
    document.myForm.myElement.value = someValue;
  }

You can then pick it back up with vbScript on following pages (or the same one if the form submits to itself) by doing:

myVariable = request.form("myElement")

hope it clarifies
