What do you mean by this???

suppose this code:

...........file1.asp..............
.
.
.
<script language="JavaScript">
function changeAction()
{
document.f1.action="file2.asp?id=1";
document.f1.submit();
}
</script>

<form name="f1" action="">
.....Some elements.....
</form>
.
.
<a href="javascript:changeAction();"><img src="img1.gif"></a>
</html>

.......end file1.asp...................

.........file2.asp........................
.
.
.
Dim var1
var1=request.querystring("id");

response.write var1 & "Some text"
.
.
.
.........end file2.asp................


Now what i see is just:

Some text

and not:

1Some text


???
any idea?

Do you initialize your form action to "page1.asp"?  If so, this means that
your javascript is never run.  Paste more of your code for help...

this is exactly my code..:-)

but is not working! the parameter is not sent by the first page containing
the javascript code!

document.myform.action="page1.asp?id=1";
document.myform.target="_blank";


the url of the new page opened on form submit is ...page1.asp and not
...page1.asp?id=1

so the querystring is useless, because there is no string after the
"page1.asp" !

any idea?
