Variable not listening to instructions?

[Jimuniguy]

Hi

After some playing around, I have the following code. I want variable 12 (which is switch in the query string) to become null ("&quot after being processed, but it wont. Why???

<%
Dim variable1, variable2, variable3, variable4, variable5, variable6, variable7, variable8, variable9, variable10, variable11, variable12, variablex, variabley, variablestring

variable1 = Request.QueryString(&quot;tfc&quot;)
variable2 = Request.QueryString(&quot;tfs&quot;)
variable3 = Request.QueryString(&quot;bc&quot;)
variable4 = Request.QueryString(&quot;txfc&quot;)
variable5 = Request.QueryString(&quot;txfs&quot;)
variable6 = Request.QueryString(&quot;lc&quot;)
variable7 = Pageref
variable8 = Pagerefold


If Request.QueryString(&quot;switch&quot;) = &quot;off&quot; then  
   Variable10 = &quot;off&quot;
ElseIf Request.QueryString(&quot;switch&quot;) = &quot;on&quot; then 
   Variable10 = &quot;on&quot;
ElseIf Request.QueryString(&quot;switch&quot;) = &quot;&quot; Then
   Variable10 = &quot;&quot;
End If

If variable10 = &quot;&quot; then
'Do nothing
ElseIf variable10 = &quot;on&quot; Then
variablex = &quot;on&quot;
Else
Variablex = &quot;off&quot;
End If

variable12 = &quot;&quot;

variablestring = &quot;?tfc=&quot; & variable1 &&quot;&amp;tfs=&quot; & variable2 & &quot;&amp;bc=&quot; & variable3 & &quot;&amp;txfc=&quot; & variable4 & &quot;&amp;txfs=&quot; & variable5 & &quot;&amp;lc=&quot; & variable6 & &quot;&amp;Pageref=&quot; & variable7 & &quot;&amp;Pagerefold=&quot; & variable8 & &quot;&amp;Access=&quot; & variablex & &quot;&amp;test=&quot; & variabley & &quot;&amp;Switch=&quot; & variable12

%>

Cheers

"" and null are different values.

if you want the varible to be null you need to give it that value
variable12 = null

I'm a bit confused though. how exactely does it not give a variable a empty string when that is indeed what it already has?

Hi,

I want the variable to be nothing, aka null aka ""

I want the string to be sent like this (edited for shortness)

&Access=&Switch=on

And for it come back in the string as

&Access=on&Switch=

But at present, I am having to click the link (which has the string attached) twice in order for it to work, otherwise it comes back as

&Access=&Switch=on

Hi,

Fixed it, I was refreshing the page without giving the variables a chance to do their magic
