I have set a variable on a page called varUser(Set from cookie) I am trying to pass this through to the next page and am having diffuculties with something that should be simple. I already tried session variable but had some hiccups with it.
Any suggestions would be welcomed
Here is the code that sets the variable
Code:
<%
DIM varUser
varUser = Request.Cookies("com_jdedwards_LastLayout")
%>

could you explain a little more on what you are trying to do? if you had set a cookie value then you can request on ANY other page with Request.Cookies method (the purpose of a cookie)

You can pass variables to another page by posting a form, with a object (textfield) or you can put the value into the querystring of a link.
If you just need the value on the next page I would create a hidden textfield or session variable.

I am passing the cookie value to another domain, this is the reason I can't just call the cookie from that page.

This is how I am trying to read it from next page
Code:
<%
DIM userWrite
userWrite = Request.querystring("username")
%>
This is how I was trying to send it (unsuccessfully)
Code:
<a href="cookie_read_test.asp?username="+varUser+>CLICK HERE </a>

Should be:
Code:
<% Response.write("<a href="cookie_read_test.asp?username=" & varUser & ">CLICK HERE</a>")

Calldean called it right but i thought you

If your just passing it onto another page then why bother with the querysrting just use request.cookies("yourcookiename")
as bslintx originally suggested.

you could use the response.write "shortcut"
Code:
<a href="cookie_read_test.asp?username=<%=varUser%>">CLICK HERE </a>
