...because ASP cannot refrence objects on the HTML page !!

ASP is Server Side, so it is executed on the server. HTML/Javascript is processed on the client. So the two have no way of interacting with each other.

But...

You can do it this way:


<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=MyHiddenInput VALUE=<%=Request.Form("MyVariable")%>

i have tried using your method..
it does not work

im using ASP pages and need to parse the data from my first asp form
to the send page/form into a hidden field on my second page ????

sastraxi's method should work...

on second page...

<% dim strFName
strFName = request.form("nameOfTextBox")%>

then in your form, pass strFName as a hidden variable

<input type="hidden" name="firstName" value=<%=strFName%>>

If you are using METHOD=GET on your form, (I think it is default) then you must use Request.Querystring("Name_Of_Text_Box")
