I have some Javascript and ASP in a webpage. How do I pass a Javascript variable to ASP (read below)?

Question

Essentially I have a variable named "strfile" that is in Javascript. I need to access this variable or "make it available to be used" by ASP. The Javascript and ASP code is all in the same page.

Answer 1

The easiest way is to set the value of the JavaScript variable to a hidden input field.



Then in your JavaScript, simply say:

document.getElementById ('strfile').value = strfile;

When you submit the form, the page that receives the submit action (could be the same or a different page), the strfile variable will be available in ASP as request.form("strfile")

Answer 2

in line with probability this would grant you a sprint. To get the whole question string: <% the_name = Request.QueryString() ' Your var cost %>
<%
Dim the_name
the_name = Request.QueryString()
Response.write("the name is " & the_name)
Response.write("")
%>


Hope this helps.
