Prepopulate Sharepoint Formfield with querystring value
I am trying to pre-populate a SharePoint form field with a querystring value . What's the best way to do this?
I have seen lots of javascript examples, but I'm not much of a coder in that language. I have MOSS...Thanks.

I would go for javascript or jquery as a solution. As a c# coder learning java might not seem all that needed, but if you are planning to code for SP2010 as well I do suggest you learn to use it.
i'm not a coder either, and i was able to implement a javascript solution.

It looks like you start your page with the solution I'm looking for, and are asking a few different questions.
In the screenshot below, you can see the familyid (=1) and the field that I want that value to display (obnoxious red arrow).
Now I think I can bind to a querystring variable, something like this:
<ParameterBinding Name="FamilyID" Location="QueryString(Fami
If I'm right, then how can I insert this query string variable into that text field?
I've attached my entire code, too.
I hope I'm not way off, here (thanks).

Perfect!

Hey, it worked! Thanks. My only question is this: how can I make this text box read only or not changeable?
you can do that in sharepoint designer. you change the type of field to one that is read only. i think it's called a label, but i can't recall for sure and i dont have SPD available at the moment.
ASKER
It was label. Thanks again.
