i cannot get this right

hiddenform value = request.form("firstname")

but this does nothing ???

pelase help me out!!

...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:

Code:

---

  <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")
