Classic ASP and parent forms
Hey there,
I've writing a small piece of code, where on one page I choose a date, click a button and on the pop-up, I show all courses available for that date. I'm having trouble with the page showing the courses. I can't seem to make the child form read anything from the parent form. I've found how to do it through HTML, but since it will be affecting the sql, I need to do it in the asp, before the second form is fully created. Is there a way with something like a request object, or do I have to use a session object?
Thanks
Eric

carrzkiss is right but just a note that the sql statement isn't quite correct. It should be more like:
sql = "SELECT field1, field2, field3 FROM Table1 WHERE column1 = " & getPage
Also this is susceptable to SQL injection attacks so you need to code defensiveley:

sql = "SELECT field1, field2, field3 FROM Table1 WHERE column1 = " & getPage

That's really useful.
But my issue now, is to send data back to the parent page. I wanted to use the child page to populate fields on the parent field based on what they click. I assume that I can do this with Javascript?
Thanks

Something like this:
(This in your Forms action)
childpage.asp?id=1 (of what every you need to show the records)
In the child page.
You will have your database SELECT statement like so:
getPage = Request.QueryString("id")
sql = "SELECT field1, field2, field3 FROM Table1 WHERE "& getPage & ""
(Body of page)
Read your records here.
That is it.
If you need an example code of this procedure, please provide your Table Structure
And I will be glad to make up one for you
