this is supposed to work directly without any problems .. but ive no idea whats wrong ... when i give a value like say Start=9 using GET ... it never gives 9 seletced ..
Request.QueryString("Start") is displaying the value 9 ..

it works only if i specify the value of StartDay directly ..

whats wrong with the code ?

ideas please ..

hey guys .. somebody do reply ...

 the problem is whenever i use an if .. else statement which deals variables passed from Forms or functions, inside the for .. next loop

i can read the values of these forms & print it inside the For.. Next Loop. but cant perform If.. Else operations on it the result is always false. why is this happpening ?

I am not sure what you need with this loop, but if you want to create SELECT form element based on the value in querystring, here is the sample code:
...but the Soon is eclipsed by the Moon

yea its exactly like my scipt ... i used urs as well .. bu no use
<%
    StartDay = Request("StartDay")
    Response.Write "<select name=StartDay>"
    For Counter = 1 To 31
        If Counter = StartDay Then
            Response.Write "<option value=" & Counter & " selected>" & Counter & "</option>"
        Else
        Response.Write "<option value=" & Counter & ">" & Counter & "</option>"
    End If
    Next
    Response.Write "</select>"
%>

But i never got 'selected' even once when the Request("StartData") ... even though Request("StartDate") is present ..

do help

Try explicitly converting the startDay to an int.

If Counter = CInt(StartDay) Then
