Problem solved! It always happens, doesn't it - as soon as I had posted the question, I did another search, and found Request.QueryString. It seems to be exactly what was needed!

I am using what I assume to be pretty straightforward asp, xhtml and scripts (vbscript, javascript) to manage my website. Everything is working OK, including maintaining an MS Access db on the server from form data, and reading and updating folders & files on the server.But I have one more need:The only way I have found, of passing any info back from the client to the server is by using a form - the form displays on the client, the user enters data and submits the form, and the data can then be picked up in ASP, ie, on the server. I can then, for example, write the form data to my MS Access db on the server, and pass it back to the client in whatever form I need it in the html.But I want to be able to pass back (small amounts of) data without using a form. For example, if the user clicks on a certain field (like a cell in a table), I want to resubmit the .asp file (as I would for form data) so that in my asp code I can pick up the fact that the user has clicked field "x" and act accordingly (eg. update a db record and redisplay).I can't find any way of doing this. Some things, like the Session object, appears to be accessible only on the server. Other things, like window.location.search, appear to be accessible only on the client. Such a mechanism must logically exist, because it exists for form data.XMLHttpRequest appears to pass data back to the server, but it is far too complicated for my liking.Any ideas?TIA
