Passing variable from page to page

dtran · Jul 10, 2001

Please help!!
I am trying to pass a variable from one page to another.
I have a variable that I received from server side vbscript that I used in client side javascript. I am trying to do a : location.href = "page.asp?tempVar=myVariable" in javasacript where myVariable is the variable that I am using to pass to the next page. I can't use "<form action=blah blah> and then reference it with request.queryString("myVariable&quot

because I am doing something else with that.
I hope I explained that right.

Thanks in advance.

Hi dtran,

If you use the GET method, the values are posted as querystrings. As a result you can still use request.queryString("myVariable&quot

.

If you use the POST method, you should use:
request.form("myVariable&quot

Hope it helps you further?

I guess I didn't explained that right.
I have a javascript function that I want to pass a variable to page.asp. I can't use "Post" or "Get" with request.form or request.querystring because the original page is using that to pass another variable to anotherpage.asp.

Hi,

Indeed, you got me confused

Can you post an example of the code you are using?

Tnx,

<html>
<head>
<form action="page1.asp" method="Post">
<%
//data connection blah blah
myVar = rs("Name&quot

%>
<body>

</form>
</body>
</html>
<script language="javascript">
function passVar
{
//do some stuff
//this where I need the code

location.href="page2.asp?myName=<%=rs("Name&quot

%>

//I've tried using Session("myName&quot

= Session
and <%=rs("Name&quot

%> but none seem to work.
}

</script>

Hi dtran,

This should do it:

Code:

<%
data connection blah blah
myVar = rs(&quot;Name&quot;)
%>

<html>
<head>
<title>Pass variable</title>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function passVar()
{
	document.location.href='page2.asp?myName=<%=myVar%>'
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form action=&quot;page1.asp&quot; method=&quot;Post&quot; name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
	<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;myVar&quot; value=&quot;<%=myVar%>&quot;>
</form>
<A HREF=&quot;javascript:passVar()&quot;>passVar</a>
</body>
</html>

Sure hope it does
