passing javascript to vbscript

[Katya]

Why the following code doesn't work? What am I doing wrong?

<input type="hidden" name="test"
value="javascri pt:document.for m.fld_1.value">

I want to pass this value to a hidden field in order to get it later
using Request.Form("t est").

Thank you!

Making up code that doesn't exist.

You can't do that.
And you can't just make up syntax, either. :^)

Then modify the onchange of fld_1 to set it.
You can't do what you're doing. Does not compute.

Though why you need two fields with the same value when the form has to get
submitted to the server to do Request.Form anyway, I have no idea.

You can't use Javascript like that.

You're trying to copy the value of one form element to another? Attach
an onUpdate event handler to the first field. The function called by
that handler should do the copy. That way, every time the first
element changes, the new value show up in the second element.

There is no such thing as an onUpdate event handler, not even in the IE DOM
(that would be `onupdate', if that). There are standards compliant onkeyup
and onmouseup handlers, though, and one can call the other to keep behavior
consistent.

Any documentation that says it would be onupdate instead of onUpdate? I
am unaware of any browser that makes intrinsic event handlers case
sensitive in the markup.
