I am new to asp, and I am looking for a way to share data between two web apps in something similar to DDE. I can't find anything that is helpful. DOM seems to be what would work best but that seems to apply only to the page you are working on. What I need is to be able to pull data from elements on another page i.e. text fields, check boxes, radio buttons,... and to be able to push data back to those fields also. Is this even possible? I do not have access to the code on the page that I need to push and pull data from, so this is why I am looking for something similar to DDE. Any help and code examples in vbscript preferrably would be greatly appreciated.
 
if you have both pages open at the same time (ie: if you spawn a new window) then it's easily accomplished using javascript's DOM.

if you do not have both pages open at the same time, there are two ways you would be able to do it:

1)pass all the necessary information in a hidden form (or querystring) and generate the form values

2)persist the data either in a session or in a temp db table, and generate the page using that data.
