5 hours in and still can't crack it. I have even set up a test page on a different server but with the same result.
Code for first page (www.sofabedgallery.karoo.net/index.php)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
test page
<a href="karoo_rev.asp?item_id=geneva+guestbed">click</a></div>
</body>
</html>
Linked page (karoo_rev.asp):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">Product review form for product : <%= Request.QueryString("item_id") %></div>
</body>
</html>
All I get on the screen when clicking the link is :
"Product review form for product : <%= Request.QueryString("item_id") %>"
Where am I going wrong ?

Is the server setup to run asp pages. The test page you provided is php?

Hi - many thanks for your input. The page with the code on is the www.sofabedgallery/karoo.net/karoo_rev.asp page.
This is just a test server I have set up without any special properties. After more research, I am wondering if the issue could be with the server permissions on this page. Is that what you are referring to, or is there an extra code needed to be uploaded to run the querystring code ?
If it's the permission, what code number should I be applying ?

I have often found that it seems to work better by writing your page as :
Linked page (karoo_rev.asp):
<%@ LANGUAGE = "VBScript" %>
<%
item_id = Request.QueryString("item_id")
%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">Product review form for product : <%= item_id %></div>
</body>
</html>
Don't ask me why, it just happens ;o)

From the looks of it the test server is running Apache webserver.
Apache to the best of my knowledge will not run asp pages. This is what I believe cause of the problem your having. Apache is treating the asp page as a static page, doing no processing what so ever on it.

Thank you both for your input. After spending many hours on the issue, I re emailed the hosting company who advise support for asp pages has now been withdrawn, hence the reason why the code will not run.
Workaround was to use the following php code to parse the query string :
<?php echo $_GET['item_id']; ?>
This works fine.
Kindest regards,
Chris
