Does anyone know how to pass a session variable to sub??? I created a session variable called sGroup. When I did the response.write, I can see the value, but I can't get the value when I did the msgbox "sgroup: " & sGroup. in the btnclient_onClick . Here is my code :
<html>
<%
sGroup=Session(&quot;sGroup&quot;)
Response.Write sGroup
%>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>

Sub btnclient_OnClick()
msgbox &quot;sgroup: &quot; & sGroup '***getting nothing here??????
If sGroup=&quot;MH&quot; then
document.url = &quot;url&quot;
Else
document.url = &quot;url&quot;
End If
End Sub
</script

Thanks in advance.

<%
sGroup=Session(&quot;sGroup&quot;)
Response.Write sGroup
%>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>

Sub btnclient_OnClick()
dim sgroup
sgroup = &quot;<%=Session(&quot;sGroup&quot;)%>&quot;
msgbox &quot;sgroup: &quot; & sGroup
If sGroup=&quot;MH&quot; then
document.url = &quot;url&quot;
Else
document.url = &quot;url&quot;
End If
End Sub
</script

I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

hi, how would you do that the other way eg:
//your current code
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>
dim sgroup
sgroup = &quot;hello&quot;
sgroup = &quot;<%=Session(&quot;sGroup&quot;)%>&quot;
</script>

//what i want to do (set the session var in VBScript
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>
dim sgroup
sgroup = &quot;hello&quot;
&quot;<%=Session(&quot;sGroup&quot;)%>&quot; = sgroup
</script>

thanks in advance
Darren

Do a keyword search in this forum about variable.
Anyway, the Session object is Server side

I need to do the same thing with that....load a value from a form into a session variable when a button is clicked...but since the button clicking code is client-side and ASP is server side...is there a way to do it? Surely there must be.
