Passing the name of the hyperlink or something???

[tommygrayson]

Hello guys!!!

I have this problem in ASP. Well the logic is this:

I have 2 pages. One in HTML and one in .ASPX.

The HTML page has a hyperlink that say's Hello World.

I want to pass the Hello World value to the next page in ASP.

Please help me!!!

Here's the code:

The HTML page:

<td width="56%" CLASS="style13"><a href="WebForm2.aspx" name="Ian">Hello World</a></td>

The .ASPX page:

Dim a As String

a = Request.Form("Hello")

Hey thanks for the link. It helped a little.

But I still have one more question.

Is it possible pass the name of the HTML hyperlink to the querystring? If yes

then how?

well, isn't this possible?
href="WebForm2.aspx?name=Ian"
?

Well it did pass the string "Ian" but not the Hello World which is the intended

value.

OK.
so use the innerText property of the A Tag:
<a href="#" onClick="location.href='WebForm2.aspx?textvalue='+ this.innerText;">Hello World</a>

and on your target page, you can request("textvalue")
I'm not sure, but you may have to replace ("%20", " " ) to get your spaces back, maybe not.

Hi,

To make things easy, why dont you just use the server variable

request.Servervariables("HTTP_REFERRER")

thisll pass the page name to to wherever you want it..

Hey Kaihirst. Did you post this on the wrong thread? The one about the URL as parameter would be more suitable.
