    Question

    Hi,

    Is there a way to pass a value to an ASP page that expects data from the POST method; i.e. using

    Code:
    MyVal=Request.Form("MyVal")
    without having the SUBMIT button on the preceeding page.

    Basically, I am trying to hide what gets sent to the next page when a regular link is clicked.

    Thanks in advance.

    Why not use the hidden text field

    <INPUT type="hidden" name="myhidden">

    you can then change it's value using javascript

    Unhappy but...

    Er..., even with <INPUT type="hidden" name="myhidden">, I still need to have the SUBMIT button on the screen, am I right?

    Is there a way to send the information when a regular link like post hidden info is clicked?

    IP*Works provide server components for ASP, one of which allows you to download a web page to a variable...and it lets you send GET or POST info with the request too.
    If you're cool enough then you'll have it installed on your own server... if not http://www.brinkster.com offer it with their premium membership.

    Alternately do like Ianpbaker suggests...or take it one stage further and send a page back to the browser like:

    Code:
    <html>
  <head>
    <title>Whatever</title>
  </head>
  <body onload="javascript:autoform.submit()">
    <form name="autoform" action="whateverpage.asp" method="post">
      <input type="hidden" name="somevalue" value="blah">
      <input type="hidden" name="someothervalue" value="blah">
      <input type="hidden" name="somethingelseagain" value="more blah">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
