Question

I am trying to send some information from a drop down menu when it changes to a classic Asp action page which I want to have grab the information, format it as needed and then return the final variable value. Everything submits fine to Asp but I get a blank value returned.

Here is my JQuery

$.ajax({ 
    type: "POST", 
    url: "newslettercreate_action.asp", 
    data: { newsletter_publication: id_val, func_id: "1" },
    dataType: "html",
    success: function(theSite) {
    alert(theSite);
},
    error: function(){
    alert("fail");
}
           });

And here is the Asp that is handling this information

    thisQuery = ""
    set thisRS = dbAccessObj.DirectQuery("live", thisQuery)
    newsletter_list = thisRS("newsletter_list")
    newsletter_list_vals = Split(newsletter_list,"_")
    UBound(newsletter_list_vals)
    theSite = newsletter_list_vals(0)

I modded the asp code a bit to just show the important parts. My ultimate goal is to return theSite to JQuery Ajax to later be used but as I said, it is returning a blank value.

Are you writing out the value? I don’t see a Response.Write in your posted code:

Response.Write(theSite)
