Re: Need to pass data to a .htm file by session.

Hi Sue,

Short answer: you can't. html (htm) files are static, and don't get parsed by the asp or asp.net engines. Broadly, you have two options:

1. Convert your static html file to an asp or asp.net file, and use server side scripting to access the session. Old-style ASP is easier to learn than ASP.NET, but ASP.NET is much "better". The microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet newsgroup is your first stop for all questions relating to asp.net.

2. Pass the needed arguments to your static html file on the querystring, and access them using client-side javascript. This will only work for very small amounts of information.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Mark
