How to get an html anchor tag href value when clicking that href link
I have a classic asp page with 5 anchor tags. When clicking any one of the tag, i want to get the value of that href tag (or the DocType value) and want to store that in a session.
<%
var strSearchUrl = getFilePath( "CustomSearchdsp.asp")
%>
<TABLE id = customize margin-left = 49px; margin-right:49px;>
<TR>
<TD><A HREF = "<%=strSearchUrl%>?DocType
</TR>

Hi Monty, I tried both and they are not working. so, i am thinking of some script to get the clicked anchor href value and text value. Is there any way to do this.

upon initial page load, yes, it'll be undefined. it will only populate once you click one of the links.
and just to clarify, this IS classic asp, and not asp.net, correct?

Yes Monty. it's classic asp
and when you click the link, it still comes up as undefined?
You are mixing ASP and Javascript/C# etc code - nothing to do with classic ASP
Things like this are the javascript/C# and other languages' way of writing code
if(Session("Start") == "")
{
var strSearchUrl

ASP
Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.
