I need help in assigning a value of a javascript variable to a vbscript 

variable for comparison.



For example:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function display(thisValue,make)

{

  var selvalue;

  var noption;

  noption = 0;

  selvalue = document.forms[0].cpccoffice.options[document.forms

[0].cpccoffice.selectedIndex].value;

  document.forms[0].cpccCostcenter.length = 0;

  alert (selvalue);

  alert ( document.forms[0].cpccCostcenter.length); 

  

  <%

  

   dim conn,sql,rst,myconn,stroffice



   stroffice =selvalue  'I want the variable (stroffice to be equal to the 

value of selvalue.

     sql = "Select costcenter from dbo.view_OfficeCostCtrName WHERE 

office=" & stroffice

     %>

   alert("<%=stroffice%>");

}

  

</SCRIPT>

you have to submit the form to the asp and retreive the variable from the

request object, no other way it can be done.



You might want to rethink your application logic though... maybe break your

form up into seperate pages (like a wizard) so that you can retreive the

value before proceding to the next step.
