Make a link that will automatically insert a number

[romeeko]

I need to have a field automatically put in a number for a given field. I didn't make the asp website so I just want to make a link that will automatically populate a field with a number. The field is called sponsor.

feild in what... a data base? You are going to need something server side for this. Plus if you had js in mind, that is not going to work for 13% of the internet. Using ASP is logical to use for critical scripting. Now what exactly is your question here?

I wanted to populate a field with a number on someone another asp page that I am not in control of

Actually I came up with the answer. View the source and save the source to harddrive. Then update the claue in the field. Save as html and uploaded to storage area

site that I wanted to populate field
https://trans.quixtar.com/010-en/reg/Client/registration.asp?go=cli

updated link auto populates field
http://www.geocities.com/romeeko/Client.html

Yea, me too. I'd like to take admin control of a few sites myself. Be sure to keep us informed of your progress.

you said" Yea, me too. I'd like to take admin control of a few sites myself. Be sure to keep us informed of your progress."

You need to read the thread. it wasn't anything about taking over a site. I just wanted to populate a field so people would not have to know or remember the number. If you read the replies above I have already resolved the issue.

I had to view the source. Save teh source to harddrive. Find where the field is and change the value. Save as html upload to geocities or wherever. now this html site has the number and links up to the asp page that I wanted.

so you want to see who the referring page is to your site?
request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
