pass parametrs from one for to another.

Hi,
I have to html pages that load to the same page.

in page1.asp :

<form name="menuForm" id="menuForm" method="post" action="areaForm">
<input name="id_area" type="hidden" value="1">
</form>

in page2.asp :
id_area=request.form("id_area")

page3.htm:
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="page2.asp" -->
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="page1.asp" -->

somhow the parameters don't pass.
whats the problem here?

request.form("id_area") will not be available till the user submit the form
where is <input type = submit> ?
