Passing value of a text box in a href tag

[=?Utf-8?B?Um95?=]

Hi all,

In a form I have a text called myText as input and need to pass its value to
the next page (mySecond.asp)
The following works fine and my next page I get the value of myText=test:
<a href="mySecond. asp?MyText=test ">click here</a>
But, I need to pass document.myform .myText.value instead of test value.
I have problem with the syntax. I'm sure I need to use javascript, but how?
Thanks in advance,

Roy

You could use a normal HTML FORM (anyone remember those? :) )

<form method="GET" action="mySecon d.asp">
<input type="text" name="MyText">
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>

The alternative would be to do a normal asp.net postback, read the value
then Response.Redire ct to the new URL.
