Ridiculously Simple OnCommand Question

[Roy]

Hey all,
This is so silly I can't believe I'm even asking, but I've never had it
come up before in my work. How do I place a string within the
parantheses in the popup_command() call below? Basically, my
popup_command function is in the vb code and accepts one parameter as a
string. No matter how I try to format the aspx syntax, I just can't get
the "string" within the parameters to work. How do I do so?
<asp:linkbutton ID="btnOPPID" runat="server"
OnCommand="popup_command()" Text="..." ></asp:linkbutton>
Protected Sub popup_command(ByVal x As String)
Response.Write(x)
End Sub
Thanks

I didn't see the sub below. I thought you were running javascript on the
page. You need to have an onCommand in asp.net form [which is Sub
LinkButton_Command(sender As Object, e As CommandEventArgs) ]
and you should also set the CommandName or CommandArgument to something and
test for that in you onCommand routine.
