How to correctly pass parameters to URLs ? 1

[vias]

Hi,

This is an example:

<A HREF=&quot;

http://www.test.com/

sale.asp?ainfo=192&option1=23&option2=&quot; &var1>click here</a>

I have 3 parameters : ainfo,option1 and option2, and am passing a variable 'var1' to option2.

The first two parameters 'ainfo' and 'option1' are passed correctly but the value of 'option2' is not picked up, it is not returning anything.

If I set a fixed value to option2, like :
<A HREF=&quot;

http://www.test.com/

sale.asp?ainfo=192&option1=23&option2=43&quot;>click here</a>

it's fine

Am I missing something, or is the syntax wrong?

In this case you need to surround the variable within a response.write clause. try;

<A HREF=&quot;

http://www.test.com/sale.asp?ainfo=192&option1=23&option2=<%=var1%>&quot;>click

here</a>

try this.

Cheers

Thanks.

well that came out all wrong,

you need to set your variable within ASP before you have the link.

make sure you have speach marks round the total href from start to finish.

<%=var1%> is what you need to put after the = in option2

unfortunately it seems to be giving me a link when i don't want one!
within your first 'a href=&quot;' tab put

after http site and page (although your can get away with just your page name) use ?ainfo=192&option1=23&option2=<%=var1%>

close your speach marks then write your text and close your '/a'

Not sure how to put this kind of code into this without messing it up so i hope this works
