Question

Does anybody here knows how do I use jQuery.param to create an object with a list of phone numbers and how do I supose to recover that in classical ASP?

I use $.ajax to send to an ASP page the parametres. Usually what I do is something like that:

var p = {
    cod: cod.val(),
    name: name.val()
};
var param = jQuery.param(p);
$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "SomeASP.asp",
    data: param 
});

I using var param = jQuery.param(p); because my string can contain any character, like & or ? or spaces. And than I recover the information at “SomeASP.ASP” by doing this:

Dim cod, name
cod = Request("cod")
name= Request("name")

The main problem is: Now I have to send a list o phone numbers to “SomeASP.asp”.
I read the documentation and notice that I can send a more complex object than I demonstrate above, but I have no idea of how to send and to recover these items.

I appreciate any help! Sorry for my poor english.

You do not need jQuery.param(p);.

Simply do:

var p = {
    cod: cod.val(),
    name: name.val()
};

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "SomeASP.asp",
    data: p 
});

In this case jQuery will serialize p correctly and on server side you will be able to do

Dim cod, name
cod = Request("cod")
name= Request("name")

UPD:

Not sure how ASP will handle such request. In asp.net it would be:

string[] = Request["phones[]"].Split(",");

Possibly something like that you will need to do in classic asp.

But if no, you may join phone numbers on client:
var p = {
cod: cod.val(),
name: name.val()
};
p.phones = [‘phone1’, ‘phone2’].join(“,”)//you should receive string like “phone1,phone2”
$.ajax({
type: “POST”,
url: “SomeASP.asp”,
data: p
});

and than on server side:

Dim cod, name, phones
cod = Request("cod")
name= Request("name")
phones = Request("phones")
phonesArray = phones.Split(",") //not sure how exactly this line will be in classic asp, but idea should be clear
