Querystring confusion 1

[SlakeB]

The asp page I'm working with has a query string fed into it, and the URL is:

replyToThread.asp?MainThreadNum=14

On that page, I have a form with this code:

<form method="get" action="scriptSubThread.asp">
	<table>
		<tr>
			<td align="right">
				<input type="hidden" name="MainThreadNum" value="<%request.querystring("MainThreadNum")%>" >
			</td>
			<td align="left">
				Content: <input type="text" name="Content">
			</td>			
		</tr> 
		<tr>
			<td>
				<input type="submit" value="submit"> 
			</td>
		</tr>
	</table>
</form>

If I type "hey" in the "content" text box and click submit, the browser goes to:
scriptSubThread.asp?MainThreadNum=&Content=hey

As you can see, MainThreadNum has no value. I want to pass the same MainThreadNum from the previous page's QueryString on to this page.

What am I doing wrong??

that is because you are missing the =

value="<%[red]=[/red]request.querystring("MainThreadNum")%>" >
