Assignment doesnt assign???
My ASP page contains the following VBScript code:
<% zipCode = Request.Form("zip") %> <br>zip: <%= zipCode %>, rf: <%= Request.Form("zip") %> When I enter "abc" into the "zip" field on the form, I get the following output: zip: , rf: abc Why doesn't the first statement assign the "abc" string to the variable "zipCode"? What am I not seeing? -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) Slatter***@bls.gov Tim Slattery wrote:

The line that dumps the values on the page starts with "%>" and ends with "<%" because its a debug line that I stuck in the middle of server-side code. Regardless of what is going on elsewhere, I can't figure out why the assignment (apparently) doesn't happen. -- Tim Slattery Slatter***@bls.gov Tim Slattery wrote:

If you cannot reproduce your symptoms in the small test page, add stuff from your problem page until the symptom appears. -- Microsoft MVP - ASP/ASP.NET Please reply to the newsgroup.

What am I not seeing? being included at the top of this thing. The first statement in that file was "option explicit". So if I simply "dim" the variable "zipCode", it works fine. The server admins apparently have some option set - or not set - so that I get just about no ASP error messages, and I had *no* error message for this thing. -- Tim Slattery Slatter***@bls.gov
