Need direction from the ASP gods!! I have an image map (state map). I would like the user to be able to click the county in question. That block of information gets passed to another page that contains a form. The form field 'county' is now automatically populated from their choice from the previous screen. They then fill in additional information, and then click a standard "submit" button. All information, including the "county" is dealt with accordinally.

I am not sure where to begin. Do I have my image map have a '?county=whatever' attached to the link. Do I use a form? A mix of both?? Just not quite sure.

Any help on this would so very much appreciated!!

Thanks UDzone!

You are going the right way. On each image map add the ?Country=What_Country_Name to the end of the link.

Thanks Vince. I saw that I was passing that value over to the next page. As I am rather new to ASP, I am not quite sure how to display that value on the next page. To put a finer point to it, I want that value to populate a blank text form field, that will be passed along with all the other information. What should I be looking at to accomplish this task, besides another year in college.

Thanks All!

passing it to the next page -&gt; nextpage.asp?myVar=SomeCountry

on the next page -&gt; &lt; % = request.queryString("myVar"%&gt;

the request.querystring will be replaced by the value you entered, in this case SomeCountry

good luck!
