How to pass a JS variable to an asp page? 2

[Mojojojo]

I am having fits with this. I have looked through the old posts and have not been able to gleem a solution.

I am trying to pass a JavaScript variable to an asp page. The variable is too big for the querystring or a cookie, so I am planning on using a hidden field in a form that will automatically (onload) submit the value to the asp page.

I don't know how to stick the JS variable in a form and POST it to the asp page.

If it could all be done on the asp page that would be ideal.

Any ideas,

Thanks in advance,

Joe

<form name=&quot;myform&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;asppage.asp&quot;>
<textarea name=&quot;my_js_variable&quot;><textarea>

</form>

<script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;>

js_variable = heh(); //whatever you do to arrive at the variable...

document.myform.my_js_variable.value = js_variable;
document.myform.submit();

</script>

Actually, if you don't want the user to see the form, just do:

<form name=&quot;myform&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;asppage.asp&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;my_js_variable&quot;>
</form>

<script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;>

js_variable = heh(); //whatever you do to arrive at the variable...

document.myform.my_js_variable.value = js_variable;
document.myform.submit();

</script>

Rycamor,

Thanks so much. I have spent many, many hours on this and was so close and yet, so very far.

Of course, I have voted positive for you.

Thanks again,

Joe
