This isn't strictly an ASP question, but it's part of an ASP system, so I guess it counts.

How do I write the data entered into a field in a form to a variable, which can then be used to build a URL.

something to the effect of this is what i'm guessing you want.


<%
urlVariable = Request.Form("FormName")
%>
<a href="<%=urlVariable%>.asp">LinkName[or <%=urlVariable%>]</a>

Where do you define the particular field that you want the value of?

Try this:
----
Here is the form to enter the url:
-----------

<form method="post" action="buildurl.asp">
<input type="text" name="NEWURL">
<input type="submit" name="submit" Value="submit">
</form>

------------
Here is the ASP PAGE THAT COLLECTS IT
---------------------------------------

<% @LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"
ENABLESESSIONSTATE = FALSE
%>
<%
Response.Buffer = TRUE
%>
<%
Dim BUILDURL
BUILDURL = Request.Form("NEWURL") 
' Above is where we decide what textbox we want to pick
%>
<a href="<%=BUILDURL%>">New Link</a>



Thats it! Easy Huh?

Regards,

Spoon

you'd do it on a form on either a different subroutine, or on an html page, and then you have the asp do the hardwork

something like this

code for form.htm

<html>
<body>
<form action="form.asp" method="post"
<input type=text name=url>
<input type=submit name=submit value=submit>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Then for the asp page
form.asp code:

<%
Dim strURL
strURL = Request.Form("url")
%>
<html>
<body>
<a href="<%=strURL%>.htm">Here's your url</a>
</body>
</html>

I hope i'm going in the right direction with what you want here, so if i'm off by a mile or so, let me know :)
