Reading DIV Tags

[Ray Costanzo [MVP]]

ASP will not be able to read contents of DIV tags.

The sample snippet that you inlcuded in this message is not ASP code. It's
client-side code. Try asking in a client-side group such as a javascript
one. If you're looking to get this value back to the ~server~ in some way,
then post back here indicating that.

Hi,

I have a function in ASP and I want to read a DIV tag. Any ideas? I know
the syntax but when I apply it, doesn't work.
(document.all.message.innerHtml)

Thanks in advance,
Shahid

I know it is client side, and the goal is to get it back to the server....

In order for it to get back to the server, you'll have to pass it in a
cookie, a form input, or the querystring.

How is it that the page is not/can not already be aware of what the contents
are? Is the user entering some text somewhere that is populating the
innerHTML of the div?

Thanks,

What is the syntax to grab a form input? I know once a form has been
submitted you can use request.querystring or request.post, but without
submitting, is there any way?

Thanks,
Shahid

Serverside is request.querystring or request.FORM.

Prior to submission would involve client-side scripting, such as
document.formname.inputname, but you may want to confirm in a group that
focuses on client-side scripting.

Thank you all for your help....I had to use a combination of javascript and
submitting to the form in order to capture the results from
javascript...Perhaps not the best solution but workable for the moment.

Thanks again..
