asp_databases thread: Passing parameterts in ASP

Message #1 by "Sid Downie" <sid.downie@b...> on Tue, 12 Dec 2000 18:26:22 -0000

I am using ASP for a database application, and am looking for a reference

for a specific problem.



I am using frames, passing database-generated parameters from one frame to

another via VB script and forms, for use in further database queries. I

would like to be able to pass a parameter from frame A to frame B, but

interpose a message in frame B, http-equiv style, before the database

query is finally reflected in that frame. Nothing that I have tried so far

works, as I cannot find a way of automatically passing the parameters

through without creating a form, which then needs intervening user action.

Can anyone recommend a reference?

I'm not a moderator on the forum but what you are talking about is client-side

technology. Use Javascript or something similar to access different frames.

Lets just SAY FOR CONVERSATION YOUR PARAMETER IS STARTING IN THE CONTENT 

FRAMING, THE RESULT OF THE DATABASE QUERY ARE TO WIDE UP IN THE MAIN 

FRAME , .

insert AT THE TOP OF THE FRAME ON THE PAGE THAT STARTS OF IN THE CONTENT 

FRAME

%>

<BASE TARGET=3D"MAIN">

<%

This is a control for frames so it should work, I don't know but its 

worth a quick try.

Suppose you have two frames, called frame1 and frame2.



User selects something in frame1.asp, you want a page to load in frame2 (eg

called frame2.asp) which displays something, which then reloads and does the

database query using the parameter selected by the user in frame1.



This is simple, and can be done using mostly, client-side technologies.



In frame1.asp, use a form or hyperlink to pass the paramter to page2.asp.



page2.asp contains something like:



<meta http-equiv="refresh"

content="10;URL=page3.asp?ID="<%=Request.QueryString("ID")%>">



which would reload the frame with page3.asp after 10 seconds, and pass the

parameter in the querystring.



Cheers

Ken

Hi Friend,



I did not really understand your problem.

But as you have said that you can resolve the problem using some form.

As an extension to that you can still work it out by submitting the form on 

some event(i.e without user intervention).

This can be done from any of the pages(will require complete reference in 

terms of document.frame.form.submit()).



Also with form tag you can specify the target parameter to sumit it in a 

different frame.



Check out if this can help you.



And yes as Paul pointed out it's client-side scripting,preferably java 

script to keep it browser independent.



Regds,

Harsh
