asp_databases thread: Passing variables from VB to an HTML form


Message #1 by srobinson@g... on Fri, 5 Oct 2001 13:42:26
Hi All,



Does anyone know how I can pass the value of a VB variable to an HTML form?



I believe it is something like - myform.mytext = variable



Can anyone help?



Cheers,



Simon.

This is how to put the value of an ASP variable into a HTML form element.

You neglected to mention whether you were talking about server-side

VBScript, or client-side VBscript (and since this is an ASP list, I assumed

the former...apologies is this is of no use to you!)



<%

strTest = "This is some text"

%>



<form>

    <input type="text" name="txt1" value="<%=strTest%>">

</form>



HTH



Cheers

Ken

Hi All,



I have a variable 'jn' which gets its value form Recordset1.items

("Jobnumber1").Value in an Access 2000 database.



After performing a simple calculation on jn



I am passing jn to Jobnumber1 in an HTML form like so:-



 <input type ="hidden" name="Jobnumber1" value="<%=jn%>">



The problem is that the value of jn is getting lost outside of the initial 

VB function which is



Function GetJobNumber

  

  Dim jn

  

    jn = Recordset1.items("Jobnumber1").Value



    jn = jn + 1



End Function



When the form is submitted back to the database, the value of jn is lost.



Can anyone help?



Cheers,



Simon.

In you function JN is local to the procedure.  Declare it outside of the

procedure so it has public scope.
