assigning a value

[Bill Crawley]

Hi all,

On first pass through of my ASP page I have:

Response.Write("<input type=""hidden"" name=ReportMsg value=''>")

created from the server.

On second pass I want to assign something to this value. can someone tell me the syntax for doing that.

I thought it would be something like request.form("ReportMsg").value = "xzxzxz"

Response.Write("<input type=""hidden"" name=ReportMsg value='xzxzxz'>")

Will assign a value to the hidden field

Hmmm....

Will that not confuse the process since I will already have had a hidden type of that name generated with an initial value of ''.

Secondly, as I go down the code, the value gets built up, such that if I were doing VB

it would be something like :

A = A & B

do some more code.......
A = A & C........

etc

Build the value in a local variable in your ASP script. Only when you have the final value, set the value to the hidden field.

So...

A = A & B

do some more code.......
A = A & C........

finally

Response.Write("<input type=""hidden"" name=ReportMsg value=" & A & ">")

Here's the real problem (Just found it)....

document.myForm.action="AddMultipleAuthority.asp?Print=yes&AgentId=" & document.myform("hAgentid").value & "&Find=yes"
document.myForm.submit
window.open "Reports\AddMultipleAuthorityReport.asp?AgentId=" & document.myform("hAgentid").value & "&Rep=" & document.myform("ReportMsg").value

the window.open command is processing before my form submit has finished thus the Report.msg value is always blank.

How can I tell it to not open the window until the server processing has finished
