More asp session variable stuff

Ray · Jul 18, 2004

I'd be grateful if somebody would look at this page:
http://www.cclweb.co.uk/notjustbooks/asptest.asp and let
me know exactly, in simple terms, where I should put my
<%Session("Identifier")=Identifier%> statement in order
for it to be displayed in the text box.

Jon Spivey · Jul 18, 2004

Hi,
<input value = "<%=Session("Identifier")%>" type=text value=""
name="sessionid" size="9">

MD Websunlimited · Jul 18, 2004

Hi Ray,

<input type=text value="" name="sessionid" size="9" value="<%=session("Identifier") %> >

The above assumes that the session var does not contain HTML. If it does it should be encoded.

Sorry I meant how and exactly where do I set the Session
variable?

Kevin Spencer · Jul 18, 2004

You SET a Session variable thusly:

Session("VariableName") = SomeValue

You GET a Session Variable by referencing it thusly:

Session("VariableName")

You WRITE a Session Variable to a page thusly:

Response.Write Session("VariableName")

- or -

=Session("VariableName")

Thanks - that's what I've been doing, but it won't work.
Take a look at
http://www.cclweb.co.uk/notjustbooks/asptest.asp and
please let me know what I'm doing wrong

Where are you assigning the session variable, it needs to be done prior to the user getting to this
page.

Paste you code in a reply to this post.

After you have opened the recordset do the following:

<%
Session("Identifier")=fp_rs("Identifier")
%>

The above will now store the Identifier in a session for later use, however on this page I wouldn't
use the session variable, I would use the value directly from the recordset to populate the form
field:

Session Identifier appears here

<input type=text value="<%=fp_rs("Identifier")%>" name="sessionid" size="9">

or

<input type=text value="<%=Session("Identifier")%>" name="sessionid" size="9">

Yes, that's done it thanks very much. I understand your
point about not using it on this page, but I am just
using this as a test to get the session variable working.
That, thanks to everybody's help, is now working!
