Passing a value from ASP to the script
While your hidden input box will work, what Alexandre posted will also work. If you would read
his post, you will notice that he is not directly assigning a server side variable to a client
side variable, but doing the equivelent to what you are doing to get the value into the hidden
input - except that he didn't forget the '='. Your
value="<%ASPvariable%>">
should be
value="<%=ASPvariable%>">
