Hi everybody-

I have this tag that works in ASP:

<INPUT type=&quot;hidden&quot; id=&quot;username&quot; size=&quot;12&quot; name=&quot;username&quot; value='<%=Request.QueryString(&quot;user&quot;)%>'>

Can I code in Javascript something similar? Meaning can I replace the vbscript query with javascript code or variable...

server side or client side javascript?

if you want to do javascript on the server via asp then jsut state the language in the start of the page and use javascript in the asp coding.

Hi onpnt-

it's actually client-side javascript, and I'm trying to fill the value with the network username...

I do not believe javascript is going to be able to give you the network username or any value in to that effect that the server run script can. either which way you're going to need the ASP (or otehr server tech's) intervention to populate the value.

On a different note though. if you are sending a value via the URL (querystring) you can extract taht value with javascript
example found:
You could run a function onload in the page to get that value and populate the text input

No asp needed...

<script>
function getUser(){
var q=[],p=location.search.substring(1).replace(/\+/g,' ').split(&quot;&&quot;);
for(var i=0;i<p.length;i++){v=p.split(&quot;=&quot;);q[unescape(v[0])]=unescape(v[1])}
document.forms[0].username.value=q[&quot;user&quot;];
}
</script>
<body onload=&quot;getUser()&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;username&quot;>
