ASP not reading a dynamically set Javascript value

[imxuf]

I have an Active Server Page with embedded Javascript that allows th
user to update certain values dynamically.

e.g. window.document .myForm.myTextb ox.value = "some new value";

However, when the user clicks Submit and the Form is processed on th
server, the Request object doesn't recognize the new values set by th
Javascript code. The values come back as "".

Has anyone seen this behavior? How can it be rectified?

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Impossible.

ASP does not know about <form>s.

If "some new value" shows up in the textbox, it will be sent to the server
onsubmit in the same way as when you type in "some typed value".

Could you test if this differs?

NB: when submitted
<form> is detected as request.queryst ring("myTextbox ")
while
<form method=post> as request.form("m yTextbox")
