Writing to a asp text field

G

Gary

I hope I can explain this. I have an asp form that uploads files from the
user computer to a server. I want to save some data to some hidden text
controls while some of the asp code is running. However, I can't seem to
figure out how to referece the control. I tried using
document.formname.controlname.value but I get an error that document doesn't
exist. How do I reference a control from asp?

Classic asp has no forms,
since it only exists and executes on the server,
while document.formname.controlname.value
is a clientside [document!] thing,
no ASP involved.

Better ask in a clientside NG.

Perhaps your Q is about asp.net?

This is a classic asp group.

Gary,

Do something like this:

For the field you want to capture:
Dim savedData
savedData = Request.Form("txtDataToSave")
' save your data to your server or whatever
' exit your script
' begin your HTML body:
<body>
<input type="hidden"><%=savedData%></input>

The code above will not run, but it should give you an idea of what I'm
saying.
