[JustWondering]

Hi,

Please help me with thsi easy one, I forgot the systax:

I page, I want to set the session var = value of a drop down box.

Then I want to set the text box of the next page euqals to this session var.

I try something like:

Session("Val&quot=Request("DDBox&quot (DDBox is the name of my drop down box)

In the next page, I try:

<input name=&quot;text1&quot; value=&quot;Response.Write(Session(&quot;Val&quot)&quot;>

But I value didn't show in this text box.

Thanks

Hi...
I think you just forget the ASP tags...
<input name=&quot;text1&quot; value=&quot;<%=Session(&quot;Val&quot%>&quot;>

Hi...
so, you mean you still have the same problem with your session variable ?

If I understand correctly, you have two pages. On page one, you have a drop down box. You are trying to set the session variable Session(&quot;Val&quot equal to the value of the Request(&quot;DDBox&quot on the same page? Then you are trying to read the Session(&quot;Val&quot on the next page.

If this is the case, it will not work in this manner. You cannot set the session value in this way because you have to first submit the page. There are probably several different ways around this. You can simply set the variable on page 2 equal to the request(&quot;DDBox&quot variable. You could also set the session value on page 2 and then reference that later in the page as you have done.

If this belief is wrong, perhaps some further detail would help. HTH
