HELP: Returning a value afteer clicking a link?

[John]

Hello all,
I need to be able to return a value to an asp page after clicking on a
hyperlink.
Q1....Is there any html attribute for the <a> tag which will do this?
Q2...If not, could I use 'onclick' or 'onmousedown' mixed with some
asp...and if so, which is better suited?

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

TIA.

You have to send the value when clicking the link, as querystring

ex. nextpage.asp?v=something

Then on nextpage.asp

<%
dim v
val = request.querystring("v")
%>

Then can use "val" however you need to.

Thanks Thomas
Is the value returned a string or a number or is that up o me?

Thanks again.

It is a string, which you can then convert to a number if needed, but that depends on how you will
be using it at that point.
