Passing input box variable to jscript

[steve9013]

Hello. Hoping someone can help me out with this. Please forgive me as I'm very new to jscript.

I need to have the input box at the top of the page store the string to a variable. I then need that variable to be used in line 7. Since I'm not able to get the variable to work in line 7, i currently have 'testaccount' hard coded.

Hoping someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to TSDN!

This looks like ASP. Do you want this on the client-side or when the page is submitted?

[steve9013]

Thanks for the welcome!

I understand your question, but I'm really not sure if I need this to run on the client or server side. Currently, with the variable hard coded (not from the input textbox), the script runs as i'd like it to. It returns the correct data. Any suggestions?

And yes, this is ASP. Sorry for not mentioning that.

Thanks

You'll want it on the client-side if you don't need to submit the form to get the text box value. If this is after the submit, which I think it probably is, then you'll need the posted form variable using server-side code.

Thanks! How would I do this with the server side code?

You'll want it on the client-side if you don't need to submit the form to get the text box value. If this is after the submit, which I think it probably is, then you'll need the posted form variable using server-side code.

It shouldn't be too difficult, but I'll pass this over to the ASP experts since it's an ASP-related query.
