Another Newbie - pass url variable in asp file

[TNG]

I'm losing a lot of time searching the web, but I think this is also a quite
simple question:

I want an image file name changed, passing a variable in the url like this:

www.server.com\myfile.asp?variable=imagefilename

this is my code:

<%
Dim variable
variable= request.querystring("imagefilename")
%>
<IMG height="26" src="images\" & <%variable%>& ".gif" width="140"
border="0">

Where do I go wrong.

Many thanks

You go wrong with your Request.QueryString...
It should be variable= request.querystring("variable")

microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general:

src="images\" & <%variable%>& ".gif"

clientside, html does not execute scripts outside an event or a <script
declaration.

<%variable%> needs an =

so, do the scripting serverside [vbs]:

src="<%="images\"&request.querystring("variable")&".gif"%>"

Or you could just do this:

www.server.com\myfile.asp?variable=imagefilename
<%
Dim variable
variable= request.querystring("variable")
%>
<IMG height="26" src="images/<%=variable%>.gif" width="140"
border="0">

btw, in src= always use /

src="<%="images/"&request.querystring("variable")&".gif"%>"

This works great, but the problem is, when I use this in an include command,
it does not work.

Like this

in File1.asp
<!--#include file="file2.asp?var=comment"-->

And when I open file1.asp, I get an error message:
Include file not found ?

Is there a way around this ?

Thx

Don't think this will work...
When you perform a #include, you have to include the whole file...

But why do you have to do this?

It was quite a setup, I made it a little bit easier, so It's indeed not
needed anymore.
So thanks for the assistance.
