I know you cant save javascript variables into server side variables (vbscript) directly, but is there a way around this like saving java script variables into html hidden inputs then using javascript to post. Is this possible? If not what else can i do? Below is my code so far get the value of a drop down list – javascript

        function selectedDatabase() {

            select_temp = form1.elements["selection"];
            select_index = select_temp.selectedIndex;
            select_text = select_temp.options[select_index].text;                                                              

        }

Below is the HTML code

<center><select id="selection" onchange="selectedDatabase()">
<option>Movies</option>
<option>Movies 2</option>
<option>New Movies</option>
<option>New Movies 2</option>
</select></center>
</td></tr>

    What you’re looking for is called ajax. You can do it manually, or better use a JavaScript library such as MooTools, jQuery, or Prototype.

    Check out Google University’s Ajax tutorial. I would avoid w3schools’ tutorials.

    Just to cover all the bases, why can’t you just have the user submit the form?

    Also, you could do this with cookies, though you won’t get the cookie values on the server until the next GET or POST from the user.
