need help.. sending jscript client side variable to asp file

[yaron]

hi all!

i have an html page, with jscript inside. some variables, some of them
multidimensional arrays. i need to send this information, which can be
changed by the user, to an asp file. the only way i could think of, is
putting it inside hidden box and sending the form. is there any more
elegant way ?

thanks in advance,
yaron.

using forms is as "elegant" as any in my view.

If you want to send the information without causing a page reload, you
could use the XMLHttpRequest() object (and it's Win IE equivalent
ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP").)

thanks for the fast reply : ) do you happen to know if there is some
size limit on information sent with forms ?

Yes, as long as the forms method = GET, most browsers introduce
a limit.

It varies from browser to browser, and is in the range of
approx. 1 to 4 Kilobytes.

To avoid it, POST your forms instead.
