Hello all,

I am attempting to send 2 vars cid and coId with a form to another page. However, I cant figure out how to transmit them. On the page that receives, process_job.asp I am using request.form to another variable 'job_title. How can I get the others since they are in VB between <% %>tags? I tried appending them to the line:
CODE
<form method="post" action="process_job.asp" >

but it wouldnt allow it. I need to transmit these values so they may be entered in the table on the next page as foreign keys.

Thanks- Meighlow

CODE


dim cid , coId ' how do I get these to the next page
dim sql, rs
set cid = (Request.QueryString("con_id"))  
  
sql = "SELECT * FROM CONTACT, COMPANY WHERE ContactId =" & cid  & "and CompId=CompanyId"

set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

rs.open sql, Conn

coId=rs("CompId")
%>


<form method="post" action="process_job.asp" >
<table width="100%">

    <tr>
        <td>Position:</td>
        <td><input type=text name="job_title"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan=2>
        <center><input type=Submit value="REGISTER"></center>            
        </td>
    </tr>

</table>
</form>

Should I use a cookie to pass the data or is that weak?

From looking at your code, in your form you only have a single form element, a TextBox named job_title, if you don't have fields for the 2 you wish to pass there is no way to get them there, because they simply don't exist. Because the only element you have is the job title box that is the only thing you can pass to another string.

Now if those 2 items are passed to this page then you can hide them in a hidden form element, but I dont even see where you're passing them to this page. To get the job title on the next page, the way you have it now, would be


vb

Dim title As String
title = Request.Form("job_title")


That is because your method type is POST. If you were insistent on sending them through the QueryString you would have to change the method to GET
