Asp

[DaveR]

In my ASP page , I'm creating a table and filling it with database values.After this i'm creating some hyperlinks.
Problems is the hyperlinks always appear before the table, when i'm expecting them to appear after it.
If anyone has seen this kind of thing before , let me know.


Also , can someone explain the following line :
Response.Write "<a href=""" & Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") & "?pagenum=" & pagecnt & """>Last Page</a>"


I know its a hyperlink , but where do the servervariables come in.
SCRIPT_NAME has not been defined anywhere else.???
any ideas???

Cheers

hi
i think you have not closed the asp delimiters properly.
it is not a good idea of giving the hyperlink using response.write.
end the asp script and use <a href>.
there is no way hyperlink will come before the table as you specified.

coming to server variables,those are the collection of request object.
Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") will give the address of the present page.that means the link is given to the same page.

for the first question put the hyperlink in one TR TD and the table where ur populating with data from database in other TR TD.

<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>Here is the urls...</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><TABLE>here u populate</TABLE></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>


For the second question...

Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") gives the script name
i.e VBscript or javascript u r using

Hope this helps

cheers, that seemed to do the trick
One more question

How do I pass a value between 2 different asp pages in the same project.??
I'm using interdev to design them.

Assuming this is a value you want passed behind the scenes, you can use a hidden text box and write the variable to the text box on the server side, before it is sent to the browser.

If you don't care about the value being visible, use a querystring.

There r two ways to pass a value from 1 asp to another..

1. pass in as a url
2. store the value in the form variable and submit to other asp
