Using URL parameters in an ASP page 1

[raniweb]

Is there a way to grab a URL parameter and use it in an ASP page and then pass it on to the next page in the URL and use it on that page also? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I assume by parameters you mean QueryString values? Like:
mypage.asp?a=1&b=2

If so, then yes. Querystring values can be accessed using the Request.QueryString collection. For example, for my above link I could access the varibales a and b like so:

Response.Write " A is " & Request.QueryString("a") & "<br>"
Response.Write " B is " & Request.QueryString("b") & "<br>"

If you wanted the entire querystring value (everything after the ?) then you can get it simply by calling Request.QueryString without any arguments, so to make a link that has some the same querystring values you would do somehting like:

<a href="nextpage.asp?<%=Request.QueryString%>">Go To Next Page</a>

Hope this helps,

You can get anything in the URL by using request.querystring

e.g

http://www.someurl.com?test.asp?name=aaaa

dim strName
strName = request.querystring("name")
response.write strName

would return

aaaa

you can then pass this string in future url's

<a href="next.asp?name=<%strName%>">next</a>
