passing javascript variable into asp variable using vbscript
But surely if you are using ASP you can do the following:
URL : www.testsite.com/test.asp?Company=Dell%20Computer%20Corp
<% varCompany = Request.QueryString("Company") %>
to extract from the URL to variable varCompany
and where you need to place the variable:
<%= varCompany %>
all in ASP
The only bit using VB of Javascript is the creation of the URL (which here I
am creating from items in a form, in the case of someone NOT using the
submit button!) And then reloading the page.
NewURL = "location.asp?";
var EleNum = 0;
var EleNumMx = document.plform.elements.length;
do {
if (document.plform[EleNum].type == "select-one") {
if (document.plform[EleNum].selectedIndex != 0) {
NewURL += document.plform[EleNum].name + "=" +
document.plform[EleNum].value + "&";
}
}
if(document.plform[EleNum].type == "text") {
if (document.plform[EleNum].value != 0 ) {
NewURL += document.plform[EleNum].name + "=" +
document.plform[EleNum].value + "&";
}
}
if(document.plform[EleNum].type == "textarea") {
if (document.plform[EleNum].value != 0 ) {
NewURL += document.plform[EleNum].name + "=" +
document.plform[EleNum].value + "&";
}
}
} while(++EleNum < EleNumMx);
window.location=NewURL;
Hope this helps
