Hi! Thanks for responding.
I wanted to use JS for ASP. I am a beginner in JS and ASP. I can here
because I needed to know JS.
You can read posts to learn some JS
but, on my idea, you don't need it in this case.
what do you expect the Request.QueryString("ifp")
would do in src of iframe ? ==> nothing !
What asp documentation teach to you on this ?

did you try what I did give ?
(the menu in select of form with the associate iframe ?)
Last explanations :
In your home page the iframe has in its src a default page
Then you choice a menu (or not) and press button [GO]
the form calls your page.asp
completed automaticly with ?ifp=page_of_menu.htm
and page.asp will be send (after calculs on server) to the iframe
the Query.String must be in your page.asp
this page.asp could look like :
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Elément</th>
<th>Valeur</th>
</tr>
<%
For Each chaine In Request.QueryString
If Request.QueryString(chaine).Count > 1 Then
For index = 1 To Request.QueryString(chaine).Count
Response.Write "<tr><td><u>" & chaine & "(" & index _
& ") </u></td><td><b>" _
& Request.QueryString(chaine)(index) _
& "</b></td></tr>"
Next
Else
Response.Write "<tr><td><u>" & chaine _
& "</u></td><td><b>" _
& Request.QueryString(chaine) _
& "</b></td></tr>"
End If
Next
%>
</table>
</body>
Here's where I am at now. I am testing this page.. and please tell me
where I am going wrong.
your are wrong in the use of Querry.String
If you view this page the var ifp gets written out on screen ( so its not
empty ) but it does not work in the Request.Query and I don't know why.
this is really puzzling me. I have being at this all day. I know its a
string as Its being displayed on screen. and Request.QueryString works
when I pass the value from another page. why does it not accept the value
that I have declared?
<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
that smells asp language no ?
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
no :
var
ifp="
http://www.webcandesign.com/Without...ttp://office.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx";
if (typeof(ifp) == "undefined"){
document.write ("Type of x is undefined");}
else{
document.write (ifp);}
if you give (by code, script) a value to ifp or foo
and then, if you ask to write ifp or foo
ifp or foo will be written ... of course !
what matter is that about Querry.String ?
English is not my maternal language but in most of computer languages
if you speak a little english you understand what they talk.
Querry = search, catch
String = termes, words, equality ... a group of caracteres
Where does Query.String works ?
on the url of the document where the querry does its job.
What is its job : to extract informations joined to the url
</script>
</head>
</html>
<body>
<iframe src="<%=Request.QueryString("ifp")%>" name="Iframe001"
width="750px" height="920px" scrolling="yes" id="Iframe001">If you are
reading this then your browser cannot view Iframe, Please upgrade you
browser. </iframe>
</body>
</html>
Ps. I hope I did not come off being rude before by using Capitals
letters, I sometimes use it to point out things so that it does not get
overlooked. I will try to keep away from using that method
sawn nothing in this maner
exceptionaly I leave the copy of precedent post
that you can refere to it

Hi! and thanks for responding. basically I have a menu with sub-menu
options which are htm file to go into an iframe.
sub-menu by options from a select ?
because if it is by JS, basicaly,
the main menu must send a page with sub-menus linked in it
I need it to be so I can do this from any page in my site. this is why I
need a script to pass the value.
In my menu I use the following code to send the sub-menu options.
Sub-menu option 1: ( code below )
MainIframepage.asp?ifp=Template_Code_Files/file1_for_iframes.htm
and ? where is the problem ? it is basic html ...
<form action="MainIframepage.asp" target="Iframe001" method="get">
<select name="ifp">
<option selected="selected"
value="Template_Code_Files/default_menu.htm">Main Menu</option>
<option
value="Template_Code_Files/file1_for_iframe.htm">sub-menu 1</option>
<option
value="Template_Code_Files/file2_for_iframe.htm">sub-menu 2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="GO">
</form>
Now for the MainIframepage.asp file I created the following Iframe like
this---and it works fine.
<iframe src="<%=Request.QueryString("ifp")%>" name="Iframe001"
width="750px" height="920px" scrolling="yes" id="Iframe001">If you are
reading this then your browser cannot view Iframe, Please upgrade you
browser.
Sorry I am not to your orders !
If you want I pay a visit to your site
please give me a page I can read !
That't to say insert betwen tags of iframe a link to the plan of site
with links in basic html sending in self window.
Your way of doing is a real expression of incorrection and unpoliteness
</iframe>
Now the problem is for me is what happens if someone enters the page
without clicking an sub-option. ( Like for instance, coming from a
bookmark OR if the session times out.) he will get an empty Iframe.
Do not understand :
- the link is on the page (even in an option of select)
- the mechanism of send is in the browser
If there is a question of time spent on site it is the job of your asp :
time out or time unexisting ? hop ! go to page default
and ... I know anything about asp.
your [Request.QueryString("ifp")] has to enquiry if 'ifp' exists
if not : hop -> default page
if it is : hop ! what is write in url (remenber : target="Iframe001")
as I know anything in asp
I would have given the default page to the src of iframe
<iframe src="default.htm" name="Iframe001" width="750px" blah>
Activing menu will send a page to the iframe with variable ifp to obey
The querry about ifp and its different answeres would have to be in your
"MainIframepage.asp"
Is there not a ng for asp ?
