QueryString->Object?

[mthrawn]

I have two pages. one generates a tables of results based on parameters sent through the querystring by the other.

I want to perform a match method on these parameters, which requires the parameters to be strings (which is what I thought they would be). However, the match method failed and when I returned the typeof(parameter) to the screen it gave me 'object'. I've tried using parameter.toString(), I've tried creating a temp variable as a String() and assigning the parameter value to it but it seems whatever I do I just can't get those parameters to behave like strings... I'm begging you, HELP ME!!!

Dear Matt,

This should work, if it doesn't please show any error messages that you receive.

var stemp = new String( Request("myvar&quot);
// now call a Javascript.String method
stemp = stemp.toUpperCase();

Hope this helps

cheers pete but I already found another way of doing it.

strParam=""+Request.Querystring("parameter"

by concatenating it, the value is forced into a string type.

thanks anyway
