Passing Javascript variables to ASP? Reading cookies from ASP?

[Jimmy]

2 questions:

is it possible to pass javascript variable data to ASP? for instance, if
i had both javascript andASP working on the same page, could I somehow use
a previously created javascript variable inside of the ASP code?

second question:

is there a way for me to read the contents of a cookie in ASP code? I can
do this in javascript but i'm not sure how to do it in ASP. thanks.

You are probably trying to use the .js variable to maintain some kind of
state within your application. I would put the variable in a hidden form
field or append to the querystring if you can. This way it will be available
to ASP when it goes to the new page. I hope this helps.

To read a cookie:
String = Request.Cookie("CookieName")

To write a cookie:
Response.Cookie("CookieName") = String

There are a few really good articles on ASP and Cookies as
