more information

[POO]

Thanks Rich Palarea and everyone else!
Unfortunately what I am developing is an intranet and can
not be accessed from the internet, so I can not show you
what I'm doing but here I'm giving you more details:
Lets say I have two pages: A.asp and B.asp
In the first one I capture some information and I have a
link to the second page passing that information (a
single data) in this way: B.asp?
Data=CapturedInformationOnPageA
So far it works, but the problem arises here:
I need to capture more data in B.asp regarding
CapturedInformationOnPageA and along with it post all the
information to a database. I have a form in B.asp with
form fields to capture the rest of the information, all
those fields are properly mapped to the database columns,
but as the CapturedInformationOnPageA is not a field in
the form, I can not mapped that data to the corresponding
database column.
I tried to add CapturedInformationOnPageA to the hidden
fields of the form in B.asp but I dont know what to put
in the VALUE field; I tried
writing "CapturedInformationOnPageA" (the name of the
received parameter in B.asp) but the result page has the
character string "CapturedInformationOnPageA" and not the
value it represents.
I have to solve this problem as long as
CapturedInformationOnPageA is the value for the master
key field in the table.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!!!

First off, this would be immeasurably easier with ASP server-side script
than with client-side script, but this is possible. Why are you using .ASP
pages if you are not using ASP server-side script?

Keep your hidden form input field CapturedInformationOnPageA on the page
B.asp.

You will need to add a script to B.asp that is *something* like the one
below. I did not check this for accuracy. Also, you will need to pass one
and only one field from A.asp to B.asp. This will break if you pass more.

(NOTE: remove the . from the <.script> tag below)

<.script language="javascript">
function initField()
{
var sArgs = window.location.search;
var cchParamValue = sArgs.indexOf("=") + 1;
var sParamValue = sArgs.substr(cchParamValue);
document.getElementsByName("CapturedInformationOnPageA")[0].value =
sParamValue;
}
window.onload = initField;
</script>
