I didn't see one of these in place, yet, so I figured I'd ask around.

Essentially, I have an employment page that lists a job and description for specific offices. At the bottom of the description the user has the option of clicking the desired hyperlink....

This is how it's supposed to work:

1) A simple form launches in a new window (pop-up) when "any" link is clicked.
2) The hyperlinks contain a string

"http://www.url.com/form.aspx?name=givenjobtitle&office=givenofficename"

(each link has a different "name" and "office")

The form is supposed to open up and two fields automatically populate on pageload with the information from the previous page.
(one is a hidden field)

I'm using this when the page loads in an effort to populate those fields:

ProtectedSub Page_Load(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) HandlesMe.Load
Name.Text = Request.QueryString("http://www.URL.com/Default.aspx?Name")
Office.Text = Request.QueryString("http://www.URL.com/Default.aspx?Office")
EndSub

So, what am I missing?

I can post the link to the page in question, but everyone of you is sworn to secrecy. Though, that's not the page that matters, what matters is the page that opens when the link is clicked.

Here you go (yes, this page is in dot net nuke, but this page is hard coded, cor functionality reasons):
http://www.emscorporate.com/CareersD...1/Default.aspx

Select the position from the Drop down list... watch as they magically appear via javascript, and click a hyper link at the bottom. You will see the form I'm referring to.

If you have more questions regarding what the heck I was thinking or need more info on functionality, just ask.

(ps, if you'd like a copy of the code that allows a user to upload an attachment to an email or if you'd want the javascript code that shows/hides divs until a selection is made from a dropdown list, let me know and I'll send it to you in a .zip file or by other means... perhaps a downloadable link.)

request.querystring("parameter_name")

request.querystring("parameter_name")

I'm confused... Isn't that what I had?

or are you saying that I shouldn't have the whole link with the query string?

or are you saying that I shouldn't have the whole link with the query string?

That's it.
You only use the name of the parameter you want to get the value of, not the entire URI.
The querystring collection is returned as an associative array in name/value pairs.

Thanks! You rock! It worked like a charm!

Would you like any of the code for your purposes? (IE: how to upload attachments to an email)

Just my way of saying thank you.

It's attached.

yes. my friend request.querystring("parameter_name") is the syntax for querystring also I request you to us (page.ispostback) .. to optimize your code.

Request.Parameters["parameter_name"] also works (in C#)
