Transfer of info from one page to another

[alec]

If anybody could consider this problem, please.
Two pages of website.
Page 1 name: selection.htm
There is a table, each row (record) consists of product name, description;
last column is a hyperlink. When customer clicks this hyperlink, product
name, description and price (from that specific row) are being transferred to
Page 2
Page 2 name: order.asp
This is actually a Form, customer fills his personal information (product
information already came from Page 1). Then information is posted to database.
My question: what is the code that allows transfer of data of all fields of
a specific record in a table on one page to specific location of another
page? And as I said earlier I would like to use Hyperlinks, not a Button to
transfer.
Thank you.

You would need to add the variables to your link

<a href="formpage.asp?name=<%=objRS("name">)%>&description=<%=objRS("description">)%>&price=<%=objRS("price">)%>" title="Link to
Buy">Link</a>

Where name, description, price are your db field from the row

Then read them into the form field values as
<%=Request.QueryString("name")%>

Stefan, thank you for your response. May I bother you one more time?

This is the actual code that I intend to use to open Page 2:
<span style="cursor:hand" class="popup"
onClick=javascript:window.open("formpage.asp","blank","toolbar=no,width=500,height=700")>
<font size="2">Order Now</font></span>

And this is the code that you sent me:
<a

Buy">Link</a>

Could you please explain how to combine these two into one? And also, since
I am not a computer programmer, I do not understandyour suggestion:
Then read them into the form field values as
<%=Request.QueryString("name")%>
Where this code belong to? Is it inside body part of a Page 2 (formpage.htm)
and how do I read these values into specific form fields?

Sorry again for all these questions. Thank you in advance for your time and
help.

<%=Request.QueryString("name")%>
goes right in your form field value in the form in the popup page
as value = "<%=Request.QueryString("name")%>"

In your script
replace
"formpage.asp"
with
"formpage.asp?name=<%=objRS("name">)%>&description=<%=objRS("description">)%>&price=<%=objRS("price">)%>"
