Submitting form - Master Pages

[elhaix]

I have a master page that uses a custom control.
My control has a dropdown with account names, that when changed, I want to set the form action (of the master page) to say, account.aspx, along with the dropdown's value.

First page view is default.aspx (uses Master page, Master1.master).

I've created a hidden field in the control; the dropdown's onChange event sets the account name, but I want to set the action, and submit the form.

Make sense?

you can do that using javascript. this is the script to use:

<script>
document.forms[0].action="New Page"
document.forms[0].submit()
</script>

however i wouldnt suggest that. why do you want to do this???

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Ok, maybe my approach is all wrong and needs some fixin' - let me know.

As I said, here's the scenario:

My Master page contains a menu header control which contains a dropdown of accounts.

A child page, uses this master page, and when an account is selected, I want another child page to be opened, and the selected account (from the drop down) needs to be passed to that page.

Is that a bit better?

Just use Response.Redirect on the SelectedIndexChanged event of the DropDownList

Right, but I don't want to include the account ID in the URL - that's why I want to pass a POST form variable.

Then use a Session variable.

Hello. I have sort of same question... I wanto to send an user and status to another page, using POST. I add the "action=MyPage.aspx" in the HTML part of the code, but when I compile my "action" dissapears. There must be a way to transfer data between pages without session vars. How can I do that?
