Dynamic HREF problem

[millzy7]

Hi,

I want the value of href to be dynamically set. I know that the link address needs to be surrounded by double quotes but dont know how to do this when inserting it with Response.write.

Session("link") is

http://www.google.com

but it doesnt work when i click it. Any idea how to make this work?

Thanks

Response.Write("<td><a href = " & Session("link") & "><input type ='image' src ='camera.gif'/></a></td></tr>")

Try this:

<%

Session( "link" ) = "

http://www.google.com"

Response.Write "<td><a href = '" & Session( "link" ) & "'><img src = 'camera.gif'></a></td></tr>"

%>

Use the "View Source" feature in your browser to check to find the exact HTML that is being created by your ASP. Perhaps there will be something simple and you will notice it right away. IF not, please reply here with what you found.

You can concatinate double quotes into a string like this:
MyString = "I really " & Chr(34) & "love" & Chr(34) & " to write code."

and also like this:
MyString = "I really ""love"" to write code."

to get this:
I really "love" to write code.

try this:

Response.Write("<td><a href = """ & Session("link") & """><input type ='image' src ='camera.gif'/></a></td></tr>")

Thanks guys, using the 3 sets of double quotes worked nicely.

I'm trying this method of passing variables for the first time. How do i read the value of "x" on the target page? Is it just request.form("x")

test.asp?x=3

 

[DotNetGnat]

your href tag should look something like this:

href="test.asp?"&request.form("x")

If the variable is being passed in an via a link

eg

<a href="nextpage.asp?UserID=100">View Record</a>

on your nextpage.asp you would assign the value you've passed from the link to your variable with:

UserID=Request.QueryString("UserID")

You can pass more than one value by using & in between them

eg

<a href="nextpage.asp?a=1&b=2&c=3">Click here</a>
