Request Object

[Guest]

I am trying to access in Javascript within an ASP.NET web page the Request
Object. I am specifically trying to access the values in the
Request.QueryString. When I try to access the values I get an error
specifying that the Request object is undefined... The Jscript code is as
follows:

alert(Request.QueryString("CASE")[1]);

In any thoughts or am Is my syntax incorrect. I need to be able to access
the QueryString from within jscript...

Thanks in advance

alert(Request.QueryString("CASE")[1]);

access the QueryString from within jscript...

In basic javascript ... there is no request object. You need to parse the
query string yourself.

But maybe Microsoft's Jscript has an extension?

How do you get that information otherwise then using the Request Object? So
there is another way besides using the Request Object? If there is does
anyone know how? I would greatly appreciate it.

thanks

JavaScript is on the client side. The client sends an HTTP Request to the
server. The server side classes can see the Request. They send a Response to
the client as a Web Page. So, JavaScript is client-side, and ASP.Net is
server-side, and never the twain shall meet. All they can do is send
messages back and forth, via Request and Response.

Although you could look into AJAX or XMLHttp to get the data.

We can populate JavaScript variables using QueryString values on the server.
One example of how is shown by this VB example [1] at the very bottom of the
page.

That code obviously requires a postback. I think the original poster was
asking about how to avoid the postback.

You can use this javascript function to parse the query string:

function getParameter(queryString, parameterName)
{
// Add "=" to the parameter name (i.e. parameterName=value)
var parameterName = parameterName + "=";
if ( queryString.length > 0 )
{
// Find the beginning of the string
begin = queryString.indexOf ( parameterName );
// If the parameter name is not found, skip it, otherwise
return the value
if ( begin != -1 )
{
// Add the length (integer) to the beginning
begin += parameterName.length;
// Multiple parameters are separated by the "&" sign
end = queryString.indexOf ( "&" , begin );
if ( end == -1 )
{
end = queryString.length
}
// Return the string
return unescape ( queryString.substring ( begin, end ) );
}
// Return "null" if no parameter has been found
return "null";
}
}

ScriptID = getParameter(window.top.location.search, "ScriptID");

Why don't you look at the topic "2.0 beta 2: Disappearing Controls" to
determine if you can help me debug the problem I've described?
