    Problem passing selected value to another page

    Hello,

    The requirement is to display rows of data on a classic ASP page for rows in a recordset. On each row we have a link at the end to show detailed information about the selected row. A snapshot of the code is as follows: Please do not mind the html tags.

    Code:
    <table>
	<th>Ticket number</th>
	<th>Opened on</th>			
                 <th>Priority</th>
	 <th>Description</th>
	 <th>&nbsp;</th>
<%
	Set rs = rs.NextRecordSet()
	
	do while not rs.EOF
			
%>	
		
<tr><td nowrap>
<b>
<%=rs("CallID")%>
</b></td>
<td><%=rs("DateEntered")%></td>  
<td align="center" nowrap><%=rs("PriorityID")%></td>
<td width="50%"><%=rs("Subject")%></td>
<td valign="bottom" nowrap><a href="viewticket.asp?callid=<%=rs("CallID")%>">View detail <img border=0 src="/support/images/right.gif"></a></td>
</tr>
<%
   rs.MoveNext
   Loop
%>
</table>
    The above code displays the call id in the URL but the requirement is not display the callid in the URL - possibly by using hidden fields for each row. I am unable to pass the selected value (in this case a callid) to another ASP page.

    Any advise help will be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    jmash

      jmash,

      if I wanted to use a hidden input I would do something like this:
      [code=html]<form name="form1" action="viewtic ket.asp" method="post">< input type="hidden" name="callid"></form>
      ...
      <a onClick="docume nt.all.form1.ca llid.value='<%= rs("callid")%>' ; document.all.fo rm1.submit()">V iew detail <img border=0 src="/support/images/right.gif"></a>
      [/code]There are probably easier ways to do this, but you are entering javascript territory and I am not welcome there.

          Hi Jared,

          Thanks for your comments. I have simplified the code to the following:

          Code:
          PassValue.asp
<%@ language="VBScript"%>
<html>
<HEAD>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function setval(id)
{
	alert("Testing");	
	document.all('selectedvalue').value=id;
	alert(document.all('selectedvalue').value);
	return false;
}
//-->
</script>
</HEAD>

<body>
<form action="TestSession.asp" method="post" name="ViewDetail" ID="ViewDetail">
	<!--<a href="TestSession.asp" onclick="<%session("callid")="100"%>">Test</a>-->
	<input type="hidden" name="selectedvalue" id="selectedvalue" value="">
	<a href="TestSession.asp" onclick="setval(100);ViewDetail.submit()">Test</a>
</form>
</body>
</html>
          The above code works fine.

          Now I want to check the value of hidden field selectedvalue within another page:

          Code:
          TestSession.asp
<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="listopentickets.asp" method="post" name="formviewdetail" ID="formviewdetail">
Test ticketid 
<br>
<%=Request.Form.Item("selectedvalue")%>
</form>
</body>
</html>

But the above code does not display the hidden field value. Any ideas? Sorry it looks so simple but still it does not work.

Many thanks in advance,
jmash

[QUOTE=jhardman]jmash,

if I wanted to use a hidden input I would do something like this:
[code=html]<form name="form1" action="viewticket.asp" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="callid"></form>
...
<a onClick="document.all.form1.callid.value='<%=rs("callid")%>'; document.all.form1.submit()">View detail <img border=0 src="/support/images/right.gif"></a>

              jmash,

              try: [code=asp]<%=Request("sel ectedvalue")%>[/code] Sometimes I list everything sent with the following code, just to make sure my stuff was sent and received by the next page:
              [code=asp]dim x
              response.write "<b>Form inputs:</b><br>"
              for each x in request.form
              response.write x & ": " & request.form(x) & "<br>" & vbNewLine
              next

              response.write "<b>Queryst ring inputs:</b><br>"
              for each x in request.queryst ring
              response.write x & ": " & request.queryst ring(x) & "<br>" & vbNewLine
              next

              response.write "<b>Cookies :</b><br>"
              for each x in request.cookies
              response.write x & ": " & request.cookies (x) & "<br>" & vbNewLine
              next

              response.write "<b>Server Variables:</b><br>"
              for each x in request.serverV ariables
              response.write x & ": " & request.serverV ariables(x) & "<br>" & vbNewLine
              next[/code]Of course you probably would know if you had sent a cookie, so that part is probably not very useful. The server variables have some useful info, but probably not for your current project. But I think it's a good idea to print out the form and querystring inputs like this for troubleshooting .
