Returning a session variable based on users response

[JohnVogel]

Hello,

I am trying to write an ASP page that returns some data in a database. The results are returned in a table format. What I would like to do is have a session variable set when a person clicks on one of the rows.
I have allready figured out how to get a popup window to appear on a click of a field, and I can return the session variable FROM the pop-up window, however I cannot figure out how to set the session variable based on the particular row chosen.
Any ideas? [sig]<p>John Vogel<br><a href=mailto:johnvogel@computerwiz.net>johnvogel@computerwiz.net</a><br><a href=

just an idea,
what if you give an ID to your each table row <tr> and trap it when you click on any row/definition....using DHTML or javascript..not sure.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried this. The problem is that by the time the trapping occures (OnClick), The database has allready looped through all of the data. Therefore, even if I gave the table rows ID's and used an OnClick, the actual DATA for that field is the last record read, not the current row.

John,
When a click occurs, you can't get the event in your ASP code because the click is client side and ASP is server side. I would suggest using cookies instead, since you can access cookies from either server or client code.

Have a javascript function that acquires the clicked element value (window.event.srcElement) and then trigger an asp by submitting a form that does nothing but take the querystring or field name value and it then resets the session variable.
