Hi,
I am trying to create a link between two pages passing the name of the picture. The linked page will then display the picture. The first page has the following code:
<A HREF="picture1.html?pic=party001.jpeg"><IMG HSPACE=20 SRC="partypictures/Party001tn.JPG"> </A>

and the linked page has the following code:

<center>
<% DIM Picture As String
   DIM PicSrce1 As String = "partypictures/"
   DIM PicSrce2 As String
   Picture = Request.QueryString("pic")
   PicSrce2 = PicSrce1 & Picture
%>
<H1>Harp, Sarah and Reuben's Party</H1>


<IMG SRC=PicSrce2> <BR />


<A HREF="party.html">Back</A> <A HREF="index.html">Home</A>

</center>

But I cannot get it to work. Any suggestions.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,
Try:
<img src="<% =PicSrce2 %>" /> <br />

(BTW, note use of lowercase elements and attributes, double quoting of attribute values and " />" delimitert on img tag - I don't mean to sound smart, or anything, but might as well, since you use XHTML-style markup on the <br /> tag to denote "no content".)

(BTW, also, this is an ASP question ;)

I would guess that your problem is here:
<IMG SRC=PicSrce2>
It looks from what you posted that this will be literally written to the browser (have you looked at the source in the browser?) - but you want the value that is stored in the ASP variable PicSrce2 to be writen to the browser. So you need <IMG SRC="<%=PicSrce2%>">.

One other thing, the link <A HREF="picture1.html?pic=party001.jpeg"> is to an HTML page - do you have the server set up so that the ASP engine processes html files too? If not, you will need to link to a file with an .asp extension.

If you are still stuck, view the source of the page in the browser and post that here. Also try to elaborate a bit on the symptoms - just saying "I cannot get it to work" isn't very helpful.
