pass value from Javascript to asp page

[eddie wang]

I have one asp page with javascript to begin. In the Javascript, I have
drop down list value. How can I passdrop value to asp page easily? For
example, if the user selects the value, the asp page will refresh itself
with the new value right away. Thanks.

Either submit the value as part of a form, or append the value to the URL:

window.location = 'somePage.asp?l ist=' + dropValue;

The former is preferred as it should work on JavaScript-disabled browsers,
other circumstances willing.

Thanks for the reply. Can I store the value in cookies and retrive it
then?

Certainly, as long as the user allows cookies.
