RE: manipulating query strings

You shouldn't have to worry about this if you are always defining the
variable "serverName" each time the script loads. 

For example ...

If you have 

<Include> config file here w/ variable serverName || just a simple
serverName = 'whatever'
<connect> to server w/ variable serverName 

the serverName variable would overwrite any incoming post information
when it fetches the config file.

Subject: manipulating query strings 


Hello Group,

Is there a way to send values to hidden fields ,

i.e Input tags with type=hidden attribute a value from the URL if the
action
attribute on the FORM is ACTION ?

e.g:

<FORM form1 ACTION= '/search/search.asp'  METHOD=post>

<Input type=hidden name=serverName value=www.abc.com>
<Input type=hidden name=serverName value=www.def.com>


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given the Method is "POST", can I pass values to the Hidden Input fields
using the URL. i.e URL manipulation ?
I know I can pass variables in URL to Server side script variables if
METHOD
is "GET".

But how about POST method ?

Thanks.

Kumar.
