Classic ASP - Help getting hidden value

I have a hidden value on a page.

<input type="hidden" name="noteId" id="noteId"/>

I can 'see' the value in the HTML. Next I need to get that value to run a query.
But the following next line is always null

<%
Response.write(request.form("noteId"))

' Run query based on noteId HERE

%>

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

thx

It's as simple as this... How can I get the value in Jquery and pass it to the query below?
thx

<input type="hidden" name="noteId" id="noteId"/>
<br/>


<%
if NOT(IsNull(request.form("noteId")) or request.form("noteId")="") then

strSql = "SELECT * FROM NOTES WHERE NOTEID = " + request.form("noteId")

'Test
Response.write(strSql)

You can't do that directly with javascript/jquery. I do see an issue with your if statement.

if NOT(IsNull(request.form("noteId")) or request.form("noteId")="") then

should be

if NOT(IsNull(request.form("noteId")) AND request.form("noteId")<>"") then

Is a form being submitted here? or do you need to use the value that is typed into <input type="hidden" name="noteId" id="noteId"/>? If that is the case, we need to use ajax where we use javascript/jquery to grab the value entered and submit to another asp page, grab the output and bring it to the current page or redirect to another.

Any way put the noteID in a session using JS and just call Session("noteID");
