Simple Data Issue, I think.

So, I'm trying to make a practice page. I'm trying to teach myself this technology. Anyway, as for my issue, I'm
having an issue sending the value from the 'other' textbox (TextBox1) to the OtherColor.aspx. It has a problem
with me using the script in the font forecolor and text to
<%var color = Server.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString["Data"]);%>. Am I missing something? Is there a way to
make it a string variable to pass into the text setting command?

The idea is that I want to have someone enter a color in the textbox and when they hit submit have their color
show up as text and as the color of that text. I'm not checking the vaildity of the entered color yet.

Re: Simple Data Issue, I think.

I just added <%=Server.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString["Data"]) %> to the viewable text on the page and it does return the string entered in the textbox on the first page. Why won't it take it as input for text or ForeColor?

Re: Simple Data Issue, I think.

Hi ,

Why don't you do it from code behind of OtherColor.aspx. This code works fine for me .

using System.Drawing;
public partial class Default4 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected string strColor;
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        strColor = Server.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString["Data"]);
        Label1.BackColor = Color.FromName(strColor);
    }
}

Re: Simple Data Issue, I think.

Took some tweaking to get desired behavior but this put me on the right track. Thank you!
