The value can not be passed into ASP page

[longmatch]

Dear All:
I would like to pass the value into an ASP page, for querying. But the value can not pass. I would like to know why. My code is:

Do While Not rsSummary.EOF
Response.Write _
&quot;<TR ALIGN=CENTER>&quot; & _
&quot; <TD>&quot; & &quot;<a href='ProcedureDetails.asp?Details='&quot; & rsSummary(&quot;category&quot & &quot;>&quot; & rsSummary(&quot;category&quot & &quot;</a>&quot; & &quot;</TD>&quot; & _
&quot; <TD>&quot; & rsSummary(&quot;NoProcedure&quot & &quot;</TD>&quot; & _
&quot;</TR>&quot;
rsSummary.MoveNext
Loop

When I used following code to retrieve the value, The &quot;details&quot; variable is empty. Please show me why it did not work.

details = trim(request(&quot;Details&quot)
Response.Write (Details)

Move your single quote &quot;'&quot; from Details=' to &quot;'>&quot;. Should solve your problem.

Response.Write _
&quot;<TR ALIGN=CENTER>&quot; & _
&quot; <TD>&quot; & &quot;<a href='ProcedureDetails.asp?Details=&quot; & rsSummary(&quot;category&quot & &quot;'>&quot; & rsSummary(&quot;category&quot & &quot;</a>&quot; & &quot;</TD>&quot; & _
&quot; <TD>&quot; & rsSummary(&quot;NoProcedure&quot & &quot;</TD>&quot; & _
&quot;</TR>&quot;

Thank you very much. It works right now. Could you tell me what is wrong with my coding? I always have trouble using quote or double quote.

The problem here is that you've ended the value for the href element of the <a> tag before completing the URL.

The resulting HTML would be:
<a href='ProcedureDetails.asp?Details='MyCategory>MyCategory</a>

whereas your code should be this:
<a href='ProcedureDetails.asp?Details=MyCategory'>MyCategory</a>

It is easier to debug by printing out the result, and comparing it to your expected outcome.
