querystring question?

[sweetleaf]

Hi,

Can anyone pls tell me how to pass values?

I have a link which when clicked should send the "z" with an order # and "x" with a customer name to the same page.

<a href=&quot;page1.asp?z=<%=rst(&quot;order_no&quot%> & ?x=<% =rst(&quot;customer_name&quot %>&quot;>Edit</a>

what am i missing in the construction of my querystring?

thanks,
Mark

Try this....

<a href=&quot;page1.asp?z=<%response.write(rst(&quot;order_no&quot)%>&x=<%response.write(rst(&quot;customer_name&quot)%>&quot;>Edit</a>

darn it - you beat me!!

BTW,

<%=some_value%>

is the shorthand of

Response.Write some_value

Ive seen it around but never used it. Just habit i guess.

hi guys,

Thanks for your swift replies, I've tried all your suggestions but for some reason I'm getting &quot;z&quot; but not the value for &quot;x&quot;...

and the assignment for x definitely works.

i wonder why ??

thanks

what code are you using to read the querystring values within page1.asp???

When i use the same code to read the querystring for order_no it works though:

<td align=center>
Cust Name <br>
<input type=text id=cust name=cust style=&quot;width:140px; height:22&quot; value=&quot;<% =Request.QueryString(&quot;x&quot%>&quot;>
</td>

.. AND if in the above i replace &quot;x&quot; with &quot;z&quot; i am fine - the value of &quot;z&quot; will be displayed..
i must be setting the value of &quot;x&quot; wrong - but how?

What does the url read after you submit?

try reading the querystring like this:

<td align=center>
Cust Name <br>
<input type=text id=cust name=cust style=&quot;width:140px; height:22&quot; value=&quot;<%=CStr(Request.QueryString(&quot;x&quot;))%>&quot;>
</td>

hey Tony!

thanks all of your for your valuable input -
i managed to get it up and working. the fix:

for some reason the interpreter wanted to see a space
b/w the last assignment and the next variable.
)%> &x=<%
and casting as Cstr helped to!

thanks again gang
