Access page parameters from vbscript

jnralfe · September 17th, 2004, 04:12 AM

I am having trouble accessing a parameter passed from one apsx page to another from vbscript in the receiving page.

I've simplified my target code right down to focus on the issue of accessing the passed parameter.

I'm not certain if this is an ASPX issue or a vbscript, I confess, I'm a little lost.

Here's the full page, any help appreciated.

        <form id="TestRequest" method="post">

        You clicked link number <%=Request.QueryString["link"]%>!<BR><BR>
        <A HREF="TestParams.aspx">Try again</A>

        <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
        dim id
        id = 1
        </SCRIPT>

        <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
        dim id2
        '
        id2 = <%=Request.QueryString["link"]%>
        ' <!-- Using Normal brackets causes the following message
        '
        ' <!-- Now how do I use id2 from here ?
        <%=Response.Write(id2)%>
        ' <!-- causes the following error
        ' <!-- Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'id2' does not exist in the class or namespace 'ASP.TestRequest_aspx'
        </SCRIPT>

        </form>
    </body>
</HTML>

OK, well, through persistece and experimentation I've managed to figure out a solution. Although I'm still not certain why the above caused me problems but I was able to devise the following in my target code. This was a method of opening word on the client machine with a given file.
(Intranet scenario with trusted pages etc.)
Still any comments appreciated.
