Very likely. The - var - in that context looks a lot like JScript, and I
don't think VBScript has a way of making that meaningful (though I don't
know VBScript any where near well enough to be certain that it is
impossible).

You're right. As usual. :-)

I was misremembering my bad old days with VBScript. It's not "var" in
VBScript, but "Dim".

I apologize to the OP. I have no idea how to help with your problem
though. Sorry,

The ASP like Request and Response seem to be case insenitive in
ASP javascript. So both

var a = Request.form('myInput');

and

var a = request.form('myInput');

are valid, but not

var a = request.form('myInput').Replace(/=+/g,'--');

I'm a bit confused. Yes, my code is ASP, written in javascript, as
opposed to VBscript or pearl or whatever. Am I dealing with the wrong
newsgroup? I clicked on you guys cause I thought it said you specialized
in 'javascript.'
..
But whatever, I really need your help. I change the contents of my
variable (somevariable) with an <input type=text> statement and click
submit. My change is up there in the ulr window (what's that called?)
but I can't access it. The book tells me just var somevariable =
Request("variable"); - and then somevariable will hold the data thyat
was stored in variable. SO SIMPLE, they say7 But all I get is undefined.

Technically it is written in JScript, which is an implementation of
ECMAScript. The term "javascript" (or "Javascript") is an umbrella term
for all such implementations. And it is PERL (the "and" is not included
in the acronym).

No.

This is the standard international newsgroup for discussing ECMAScript
implementations. I wouldn't describe it as a group of "guys"
(specialized or not).

I'm escalating your issue. Someone from Level 2 support will be with
you shortly...

But seriously; yes, you are confused.

The address bar?

Just focus the textbox. :)

What book? And it is Request.QueryString for a GET (and Request.Form
for a POST) request.

Who shouts that? And perhaps you should stop reading books written by
simpletons. ;)
