Hi Dan,
thanx again. I was trying out the alternatives and had hitches.
I just used two session variables to pick the data I want to
persist. for eg in the initial asp file that calls the popup, I had
session("value1")=Request.Form("value1")
session("value2")=Request.Form("value2")
then on the page that the other website returns I had a statement
like
response.write "The value is" & <%=session("value1")%>
but the page will not show even.
Now am wondering cos on the initial asp page there were no form
actions cos I had no form but just an asp page that performs the
popup processing action. Do I also need to do any stuff in the
global.asa file. Please I really need detailed speedy solution.
