I have passed value from Dropdown ListBox of a form to an ASP page using POST method. In that I have stored the value to a variable. Further I want to assign the value to one some control which I want to send the same to another ASP page using the post method.

When I tried this it is showing the variable name in the final ASP page not the value.

please help.

Thanks in advance.

Please show your relevant code.

optCat = Request.Form("cat")
strCat = Request.Form("catlist")

Response.Write optcat&"<Br>"&strcat&"<br>"

The output of the above code is
cat
catlist

But I want the original value stored in cat and catlist
e.g:
CS
Stationery

Thanks in advance

Ah. An easy to miss little problem.

Your code: Needs to look more like this I am sure you see the problem now. You need to use the value from the local variables as you build the HTML. This needs to be enclosed in script tags as you can see - otherwise your HTML just uses the literal string (such as cat and catlist) rather than the variables (and thus the values) those variables hold.

Have fun,
