how do I call a number at the end of a hyperlink?

[Trint Smith]

I have a program that creates an html results page with:
item# | photo | title | description | price...etc
just like that on down the page. When someone mouses over which ever
one they want to see in detail, I somehow need for it to, when they
click on that result, to send out the item number of that selection to
the aspx file it is calling:
http://mysite.com/detail.aspx 'and pass the item number.'
How can I do that?

And, how can the aspx file, in vb code, pick up that number?

Thanks,

I think you will have more success in this group:
news:microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet is a better group to ask this type
of questions I think...

but..
make your url like this:
http://mysite.com/detail.aspx?itemnumber=124

in your vb code:
call
Request.Params("itemnumber")
this will return 124

Hi Trint,

You can put that number in a textbox (or an hidden textbox) and than get it
with

\\\
itemnumber = me.textbox1.text
///

Hi Dominique,

This answer from you is classis asp "Get"

Asp.net has better solutions.

Just to attent you on it.

Hi Herfried,

I have a new link for you.

For VB.net language questions like this I think the best newsgroup to have
succes is.

news:microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

:-)

Cor

[Dominique Vandensteen]

you should say
asp.net has other solutions...
in this case the get method is a very good method :-)

Hi Dominique,

The "Get" I have always found one of the worse, it is so open in your url.

The Post would go, although asp.net has better methods I think (not my
textbox, but that can be a very easy solution while the OP was talking in my
idea about clientside scripting).

But there are better.

Dominique,

This is my opinion of course,

Thanks, sometimes, because of me using Visual Studio .NET and me writing
all the code in VB.NET, I am unsure where to ask the question because
the toolbox in vs is from where I create all my controls...I don't go
out and do anything (well, hardly ever) in ASP.NET manually. I just
wanted to let you pro's no why my questions seem to cross over.
Thanks,
