Hi,

I'm trying to creat a hidden field with the value equal to a variable that I've created in the head of my asp page called UMamount.

Here's what I have for code:

<input type="hidden" name="UMamount" value=(<%UMamount%>)>

I'm getting a Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: 'UMamount' error.

PLEASE HELP!! Thanks!

Should be...
HTH,

Chris

Thanks Chris...that worked like a charm. It's amazing how when you've looked at the same code over and over that you can miss a "=".

One other quick question...is there anyway to force a variable to display 2 decimal digits? For example, UMamount should be 1.00, but it displays 1. Thanks a bunch!!!

Sure...
Cheers,

Chris

chris -

I wonder if you could help with another UMamount-related problem? I'm a designer, not a programmer, so pardon my ignorance.

I'm setting up an online donation form which uses usaepay is the gateway; according to their support docs, the amount field is called "UMamount".

This is fine if you allow the user to enter an amount, but I'd like to set standard amounts (25, 50, etc...) as checkboxes, which I assume would have to read:

<type="checkbox" name="UMamount" value="25> $25,
<type="checkbox" name="UMamount" value="50> $50, etc....


However, the system doesn't accept this. It also doesn't accept renaming the field names UMamount1, UMamount2, etc...

Can you offer any help?

Thanks.

Instead of using checkboxes, why not use a dropdown menu instead? Name the menu itself "UMamount" and pass that variable to your application?

Just a thought.
