Hyperlink Parameter into Database Form

[Dennis Burgess]

I have a hyperlink parameter, an ticketid number, that I want to include in
the data into my database from a form.

So you goto survey.asp?ticketid=333

I have added a hidden field called tid
and have <%=FP_FieldHTML(fp_rs,"ticketid")%> in the value
I have tried <%=FP_FieldURL(fp_rs,"ticketid")%>

All I get is nulls in the database?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

On your form page:

<%
TID = Request.QueryString("ticketid")
%>

Then in your Hidden Form Field

<input type="hidden" name="TID" value="<%=TID%>">

Why does something SO EASY have to be such a PAIN!

Just to understand it, if I did'ent put the request.query in there it would
not work?

You add extra work to the server, plus you leave your site open for hacking via the query string.
