Writing a Variable

[Jimuniguy]

Hi,

I want to write (make it appear on the screen) one of the variables that I have changed after getting it from the querystring, but it does not seem to write it.

E.g. URL is:

[URL unfurl="true"]Http://www.myisp.com/Hello.htm?Pageref=../introduction.asp[/URL]

Now I am doing this in the code:

<%
Dim Pagerefold
Pagerefold =  Request.QueryString(&quot;Pageref&quot;)
%>

and later on I need the A HREF link to be that Pagerefold, but doing this:

<a href=&quot;<%response.write &quot;Pagrefold&quot;%>
  <%=variablestring %>&quot;>Return to page</a>

Why and how do I fix it so that it writes what the variable is, e.g in this case ../introduction.asp

Thank you

James

<a href=&quot;<%response.write Pagrefold %>
<%=variablestring %>&quot;>Return to page</a>

presuming that your getting the info into the url with no problem, try this:

<%response.write &quot;<a href='&quot;&Pagrefold&&quot;' & '&quot;&variablestring&&quot;'>Return to page</a>&quot;%>

I believe that should work for ya'. In your example you have a &quot;&quot; problem.

<a href=&quot;<%response.write &quot;Pagrefold&quot;%>
<%=variablestring %>&quot;>Return to page</a>

the &quot;&quot; around Pagrefold should be '' instead because you are inside of &quot;&quot; for the href. Also, by being inside the &quot;&quot;, your making it a literal instead of reading the variable. To read the variable the format, generally, is:
'&quot; & variable & &quot;'

Hi,

Thanks, i tried another way that works and made it into a strmessage before doing a response write like that

Cheers
