Passing value through querystring.
Hi,
I have a form where I want to pass text from a text box to input into a DB. Here is my code, passing the ID value works but I am drawing a blank on how to pass the form textbox value. Should I be putting the querystring in the form action property and using a regular submit button? Thanks for help.
<form method="get" action="NpaUpdate.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="ID" value="<%=npaRS("ID")%>">
<input type="text" maxlength="20" size="15" name="wApproval">
<a href=WowNpaUpdate.asp?ID=<
</form>

Hi,
Thanks both of you for your quick repsonses. I tried the javascript function, however, when I try to the link it sending me to a "page cannot be found" page. The URL is ending in PassValues(). A bigger picture of what I am trying to do is there are going to be multilple rows of records on the page with a textbox where a manager can enter their employee code to approve an employee transaction, so I thought it would be easiest to have a hyperlink at the end of each line that says update and transfer each line information via a querystring rather than posting it through a submit button. Anyway the Javascript makes sense but isn't taking me to the right page. Here is how I've written it:
<script language = "javascript">
function PassValues()
{
var id = document.update.ID.value;
var Approval = document.update.wApproval.
window.location.href = "http://Server/folder/folder/NpaUpdate.asp?id="+ id + "&Approval=" + Approval;
}
</script>
<form name = frmname method="get" action="NpaUpdate.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="ID" value="<%=npaRS("ID")%>">
<input type="text" maxlength="20" size="15" name="wApproval">
<a href="PassValues()"</a>App
</form>

Ok what I've Done is Loop the form for each row. And it seems to work, I guess I've use a combination of both suggestions is there a way to split the points?
just above the box you type in, there is a link that says "split".
