how to assign a value to an html variable

[qwik]

I have a form that submits user inputed information into an access database.. now I want to collect the IP address of each user too.. im using .asp with vbscript.. for the life of me i cant figure out how to assign the IP value to a text field.. any ideas?

im using request.serverVariables("LOCAL_ADDR") to get the IP and store it in a variable.. then I have been trying to assign this value to a hidden textfield but cant figure it out..

any help is much appreciated..

This is pure ASP, isn't it? No client-side script needed.

something like:

<input type="hidden" value="<?request.serverVariables("LOCAL_ADDR")?>">

..or thereabouts.

<input name="Timeq" type="hidden" value="<%request.ServerVariables("LOCAL_ADDR")%>"

I dunno. Have you tried looking at the source of the HTML page that you receive at the browser?

I may have missed something out. This is a question for the ASP forum, I'm sure.

Bernard, thanks for the help.. you got me on the right page.. the working version ended up looking like this fwiw..

<input name="ipq" type="hidden" value="<%=Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")%>">
