Passing value from external site to ASP form?

[artemetis]

Hey there...working on a customer site.

The customer is a member of NATE.

Included on his website is his contractor ID#.

I'd like to make this ID# a hyperlink to the results of the following:

http://www.natetesting.com/NATE_Lookup.htm

Meaning, when a visitor clicks on his displayed #, it will run/return the results of http://www.natetesting.com/Nate_Lookup_Results.asp, populated with his credentials.

Is this possible to pass the number to either the .asp or the form itself?

Thanks!

yes, very easy, but I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. usually we do the link like this:

<a href="nate_lookup.asp?idnum=1234">look up</a>

then we access it as

request("idnum")

Is this what you are asking?

Thanks for the reply Jared.

I think that the first code is what I am looking to do, but it doesn't seem to be working.

When I run that code from a hyperlink on my page, it returns a blank page with the following url:

http://www.natetesting.com/Nate_Lookup_Results.asp?NATEID=7584962

Am I missing something?

your script has to be set to look for that number. Do you need help doing that?

[artemetis]

Yes, please. I do need help with this. Thank you jhardman.

OK, show the code for the "nate_lookup_results.asp" and I'll show you how to modify it to look for that code.
