Greetings,

I used vbscript to create an html page that has multiple tables. I'm trying to pass the HTML in a variable to another asp page using the post method and request.form, however whenever I try to do this I get the error '80020009'. I found that the error is caused from a particular table that has several entries within it. It appears the table itself, html wise, is about 400 kb in size. In my research I found that the request.form is only good for about 100 kb ( Is there a way to get around this or another way I could pass the information? Here's a basic summary of the asp page:

There are seventeen variables being passed to the second Asp Page

Any one of the seventeen could be bigger, hypothetically speaking, than 100 kb.

I need to check to see if the variable is over 100 kb in the asp code using vbscript preferably.

I would like to use request.form, but if there is something else I could use I will.

Note:
Also I tried using arrays but found that it just slowed down my page so I nuked it which is why I have seventeen variables :p. Any suggestions here would be appreciated as well!

Thanks!
 
you could writ a session vaiable
or a cookie

' to set a session variable on your first page

session("mysessionvarname") = myvar

'to request a session variable on you second page

mynewvar = session("mysessionvarname")

or you could write a cookie

' to set a cookie on your first page

response.cookie("mycookiename") = myvar

'to request a cookie from you second page

myvar = request.cookie("mycookiename")

 
Depending of the information you could ask the info one page at a time and store them in a database. To track which user your data is coming from, you can use a session variable (kept between pages)....
Maybe with more details on the type of data your are talking about, we could help more...
