Hi,

I am fairly new to using vbscript and ASP. I am working on an existing system in which I wish to add a button which will open a new window to a an ASP page with some client side generated POST data.

This data will not be manually input via a form but instead gathered from some environmental variables. Could someone help point me in the right direction? It needs to be vbscript and not jscript.

Yea right,

  <input type="button" value="Open" onclick="openWdw()">

<script language="javascript">
function openWdw(){
 var redURL="filenametoopen.asp?var1=" + formname.controlname.value + "&var2=" + ...;

var opn=window.open(redURL,"wdw","location=no,toolbar= no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,width=400,height=300" );
}
</script>


means, you pass the form values as a querystring to the new file to be opened. There you refer the querystring to get the value using
val1=request.querystring("querystringname")

Oh!,

   You can do the same thing like window.open(...)

and in the next page you code your program what you want to gather and store them in hidden fields. If you want to retrieve those values to current page,

  opener.document.forms("mainformname").item("contro lname").value=document.forms("currentformname").it em("hiddenfieldname").value;
