Problem passing selected value to another page

Hello,

The requirement is to display rows of data on a classic ASP page for rows in a recordset. On each row we have a link at the end to show detailed information about the selected row. A snapshot of the code is as follows: Please do not mind the html tags.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<table>

    <th>Ticket number</th>

    <th>Opened on</th>            

                 <th>Priority</th>

     <th>Description</th>

     <th>&nbsp;</th>

<%

    Set rs = rs.NextRecordSet()
 
    do while not rs.EOF
 
%>    
 
<tr><td nowrap>

<b>

<%=rs("CallID")%>

</b></td>

<td><%=rs("DateEntered")%></td>  

<td align="center" nowrap><%=rs("PriorityID")%></td>

<td width="50%"><%=rs("Subject")%></td>

<td valign="bottom" nowrap><a href="viewticket.asp?callid=<%=rs("CallID")%>">View detail <img border=0 src="/support/images/right.gif"></a></td>

</tr>

<%

   rs.MoveNext

   Loop

%>

</table>

The above code displays the call id in the URL but the requirement is not display the callid in the URL - possibly by using hidden fields for each row. I am unable to pass the selected value (in this case a callid) to another ASP page.

Any advise help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
jmash

jmash,

if I wanted to use a hidden input I would do something like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <form name="form1" action="viewticket.asp" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="callid"></form>

...

<a onClick="document.all.form1.callid.value='<%=rs("callid")%>'; document.all.form1.submit()">View detail <img border=0 src="/support/images/right.gif"></a>

There are probably easier ways to do this, but you are entering javascript territory and I am not welcome there.

Hi Jared,

Thanks for your comments. I have simplified the code to the following:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
PassValue.asp

<%@ language="VBScript"%>

<html>

<HEAD>

<script language="javascript">

<!--

function setval(id)

{

    alert("Testing");    

    document.all('selectedvalue').value=id;

    alert(document.all('selectedvalue').value);

    return false;

}

//-->

</script>

</HEAD>
 
<body>

<form action="TestSession.asp" method="post" name="ViewDetail" ID="ViewDetail">

    <!--<a href="TestSession.asp" onclick="<%session("callid")="100"%>">Test</a>-->

    <input type="hidden" name="selectedvalue" id="selectedvalue" value="">

    <a href="TestSession.asp" onclick="setval(100);ViewDetail.submit()">Test</a>

</form>

</body>

</html>

The above code works fine.

Now I want to check the value of hidden field selectedvalue within another page:

[code]
TestSession.asp
<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="listopentickets.asp" method="post" name="formviewdetail" ID="formviewdetail">
Test ticketid
<br>
<%=Request.Form.Item("selectedvalue")%>
</form>
</body>
</html>

But the above code does not display the hidden field value. Any ideas? Sorry it looks so simple but still it does not work.

Many thanks in advance,
jmash

jmash,

try:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<%=Request("selectedvalue")%>

Sometimes I list everything sent with the following code, just to make sure my stuff was sent and received by the next page:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 dim x

response.write "<b>Form inputs:</b><br>"

for each x in request.form

   response.write x & ": " & request.form(x) & "<br>" & vbNewLine

next
 
response.write "<b>Querystring inputs:</b><br>"

for each x in request.querystring

   response.write x & ": " & request.querystring(x) & "<br>" & vbNewLine

next
 
response.write "<b>Cookies:</b><br>"

for each x in request.cookies

   response.write x & ": " & request.cookies(x) & "<br>" & vbNewLine

next
 
response.write "<b>Server Variables:</b><br>"

for each x in request.serverVariables

   response.write x & ": " & request.serverVariables(x) & "<br>" & vbNewLine

next

Of course you probably would know if you had sent a cookie, so that part is probably not very useful. The server variables have some useful info, but probably not for your current project. But I think it's a good idea to print out the form and querystring inputs like this for troubleshooting.
