I am new to classic Asp, I want to send the value selected in drop down to another form through query string.

I tried as below: I tried like this <FORM method="POST"; action="Includes/bfl_forms.asp?type=S&id="&rsStates("UID")> and
<FORM method="POST"; action="Includes/bfl_forms.asp?type=S&id="&dest.options[dest.selectedIndex].value>

by the way I am populating drop down by as below :
private sub generateStateDropDownList()
temp = ""
temp = temp + ""
temp = temp + "Select a State"
rsStates.MoveFirst
Do While NOT rsStates.EOF
temp = temp + ""

Please suggest me and Thanks in advance.

Hi Sibeesh,

I tried as below,
<FORM method="POST" action="Includes/bfl_forms.asp?type=S&id="&dest.options[dest.selectedIndex].value>
but unable to pass the value. Pls let me know if you know what is the issue.

Thanks,

Instead of using id="&dest.options[dest.selectedIndex].value>, just save that to a string variable , and pass it.

string strId=dest.options[dest.selectedIndex].value;
and pass
<FORM method="POST" action="Includes/bfl_forms.asp?type=S&id=strId>
