I am calling the same page over and over.

I want to be able to get the value out of a hidden text box on that page.
------------------- Here is my code ----------------------
<html>
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open('</body>
</html>
--------------------------------
This is part of waht is returned
------------------------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;Content-Type&quot; CONTENT=&quot;text/html;charset=iso-8859-1&quot;>
<TITLE>UPS Package Tracking</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=&quot;#FFFFCC&quot; TEXT=&quot;#333333&quot; LINK=&quot;#0033CC&quot; ALINK=&quot;#3399FF&quot; VLINK=&quot;#990000&quot;>

<FORM ACTION=&quot; METHOD=&quot;POST&quot;><A NAME=&quot;top&quot;></A>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;HIDDEN&quot; NAME=&quot;TypeOfInquiryNumber&quot; VALUE=&quot;R&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;HIDDEN&quot; NAME=&quot;HTMLVersion&quot; VALUE=&quot;4.0&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;HIDDEN&quot; NAME=&quot;InquiryNumber&quot; VALUE=&quot;PO-2101&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;HIDDEN&quot; NAME=&quot;ReferenceNumber&quot; VALUE=&quot;PO-2101&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;HIDDEN&quot; NAME=&quot;SenderShipperNumber&quot; VALUE=&quot;367045&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;HIDDEN&quot; NAME=&quot;sort_by&quot; VALUE=&quot;status&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;HIDDEN&quot; NAME=&quot;line1&quot; VALUE=&quot;1Z3670451550845123,...
...
-----------------------------
I want to be able to get the left 18 characters which is &quot;1Z3670451550845123&quot; the shipping number out of &quot;line1&quot; the last text box shown above.

You could open said page in a frame and then use the DOM to navigate to that hidden input. Something like:

myFrames.frames(&quot;upsTracking&quot;).document.all(&quot;line1&quot;).value

I answered this better in the ASP forum. &quot;A computer scientist is a person who knows when it is time to hit the computer.&quot;

Hi,

You have to read in the querystring values into your script. For example; the querystring shows (from the ? onward) InquiryNumber shows a value of PO-2101. To read this into your next page do this;

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;InquiryNumber&quot; value=&quot;<%= Request.QueryString(&quot;InquiryNumber&quot;) %>&quot;>

and so on....

As you know, every item in the querystring is seperated first by the ? and then by all the & symbols. This is how to read in the values you need.

Hope this helps.

Osirisweb,
I'm not creating the page, UPS is
the value I want is not part of the string I am passing
the value is returned on the page in a hidden tecxt box.

I need to get the value out of a foreign page that I have no control over. DougP, MCP
