Pass Variables

for example on the first page
i got

dim a
a = abcd1234

<form action=page2.asp method=post ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ...>
...
</form>

on the page2.asp
how can i catch the value of a
-i do not want to use get\response.redirect\session\Server.Transfer\hidden value in the form
request.querystring
request.form
request.upload
not working
it's a simple question for people that know well ASP:)

i do not want to use get\response.redirect\session\Server.Transfer\hidden value in the form


The web is stateless. Something to indicate a key/value pair will always be passed somewhere in the request, whether it's the key or both the key and the value.

Cookies?

Nikki is right, as the web cannot keep this information for you without you telling the server to keep it.

If you want to do this without passing variables, then you need to consider changing how you are authenticating your users.

Iframes or cookies would be a hack, and not a Good Thing.

It is always in the best interests of security to keep server-side things on the server. Things that the client never needs but that you may want to re-use are exactly what the session is for. As long as you don't kill the server with a ton of stuff in sessions, they perform well and do what they were meant to do.
