Need ASP/Javascript to write URL of iFrame

Ok Let me redirect my goal.
I have set an alert. It says:

Code:


http://127.0.0.1/showversea.asp?id=15418&keyword=brutish

But when the iFrame opens it writes only this in the URL.

Code:

 

http://127.0.0.1/wheelofgod/showversea.asp?id=15418

The second URL shows what the select name "id" is picking up "15418" from the option value. But it fails to pick up the "keyword" <%=Keyword%>. The page of dropdown is ASP-generated, in other words the ASP builds the dropdown from the result of the database table. Here is the section of the source:

Code:

	<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
	<!--
	function go1(identity,keyword)
        {
document.forms['bookSelect'].action = 'showversea.asp?id=' + identity + '&keyword='  + keyword 
               alert(bookSelect.action);
          bookSelect.submit();
        }
	//-->
	</script>

And

Code:

		
<form name="bookSelect" action="showversea.asp" method="get" target="ifrVerse">
<select name="id" size="10" style="width:200;" onchange="go1(document.forms['bookSelect'].id[document.forms['bookSelect'].id.selectedIndex].value,'brutish');">


			
				<option  value="14659">Psalms&nbsp;49:10</option>
				
				<option  value="15418">Psalms&nbsp;92:6</option>
				
				<option  value="15440">Psalms&nbsp;94:8</option>
				
				<option  value="16721">Proverbs&nbsp;12:1</option>
				
				<option  value="17254">Proverbs&nbsp;30:2</option>
				
				<option  value="18016">Isaiah&nbsp;19:11</option>
				
				<option  value="19210">Jeremiah&nbsp;10:8</option>

				
				<option  value="19216">Jeremiah&nbsp;10:14</option>
				
				<option  value="19223">Jeremiah&nbsp;10:21</option>
				
				<option  value="20230">Jeremiah&nbsp;51:17</option>
				
				<option  value="20976">Ezekiel&nbsp;21:31</option>
				
		</select>

Hi!

I assume you've figured this out by now as your post was almost 3 weeks ago? Sorry, I've only just read it.

First of all, you'r not using id's to name your elements, you really should. Secondly, you've used the 'name' 'id', which probably isn't a great idea.

On a side note, Google says in their webmaster tips that they will ignore "?id=", and everything after it if you use it in a url.

Anyway, I think you could simplfy things greatly if you use id's, and then start referencing things in the prescribed W3C format.

i.e.
document.getElementById("....").value

If you haven't sorted the problem already and would like some help, let me know.
