QueryString

229 New Member
Hi, Trying to solve a problem with no knowledge of asp.

I have a dropdown list populated from my database with card decription. The output is names like, abstract,illust ration etc.

I am sending the results to another page like so
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. .. html
  2. directory.asp?PostCardID=XX
  3.  
..
Now the request.queryst ring I presume should be something like this.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. ..asp
  2. <%=request.QueryString("PostcardID")%>
  3.  
..
But all I get is xx as output.
When someone selects from the dropdown I am trying to populate the page with all those from the database who have the same title and so am trying to get the ids.

Is there something more to this, I am sure there is.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Basically I was told I had to get the get the PostCardID into the action querystring

Dear Jared, You are right about the code being written for the different scenarios. I replaced the original code on the page with it and all the functions on the page like the search and categories work perfectly. So there is no streamlining to be done.

Thanks for you great help and detemination, I would have given up ages ago.
If you have a site I can link too I would be more than happy to link.

Thanks again

Dear Jared, I have just found a problem.
Firstly I was not able to swap the code. It didnt actually work. So now I still have the added stuff towards the bottom.

I was a bit precipitate in saying all worked well. Basically I forgot to redirect the main category links to the same page so they appeared to work when in fact they were on a different page.

if I take out the querystring, all works except the dropdown, and if I keep it in the dropdown works but nothing else.

So now its either or the dropdown works when the others dont and visa versa.
Is there a decraration in what I added to the page that could be included with the original script at the top?

Thanks

Howdy, Simple question, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have a a page which is called initially with a querystring. After I get the querystring values, I don't need the querystring to appear in the url anymore. How can I get rid of it? A postback doesn't clear it, it just keeps tagging along. I tried Request.QueryString.Clear, but get "readonly" errors. I want to do this, because eventually I use server.transfer within this...

I have a question about determining if one QueryString keys exists. The idea is, if this key exists, than its presence is enough to indicate that its value is true. For example ... www.something.com/main.aspx?client Client is the QueryString, but no value is given. This would mean to me that client exists, so its value is true. In the code behind, I can tell that client exists using Request.QueryString.Keys.Count, which equals 1....

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
