What I need is that, I have user enter in a value which is stored in an array on an HTML page, but I want to use that value as an default value in an input box, on a different HTML page.
<input type = &quot;text&quot; size = 6 maxlength = 6 name =&quot;DevEnt15&quot; value = &quot;what should I out in here?&quot;>
Thanks!!!
 
I am not to sure as i am new to HTML, however if you were to

defaultvalue = querystring(&quot;yourestringhere&quot;)
<input type = &quot;text&quot; size = 6 maxlength = 6 name =&quot;DevEnt15&quot; value = <%=defaultvalue%> >


wouldn't that work. I am using V.InterDev and i know that works for me.

Hope this helps, let me know.

thanx, I am not sure if this will work, I will try it. I actually want to put a value from another html page.
 
Use either request.querystring(&quot;thefieldpassedasaparm&quot;)

or request.form(&quot;the html field name&quot;)

or request(&quot;the field name&quot;) (does both above)

or use session variables
 
make a session variable &quot;sessionvariable&quot;, then make it equal to the array cell like sessionvariable=array(x,y)

Then you can retrieve it anywhere in the session on any page, it being a bit like a VB Global that lasts throughout a session.

on first page say:
Session (&quot;this_org&quot;)= userSet.fields.item(0)

and on next page set yr local variable = session variable,
or just use the session variable
