Classic asp: why doesn't Request.QueryString("foo").toString() work in a javascript (JScript) based page?

Question

All I want to do is

• Get the name-value pairs that were supplied to Request.QueryString
• Populate a javascript object (aka hash) with keys from the names and values from the values
• Halt the page if one of the expected hash values is the empty string

The Request.QueryString object is reminding me why I hated classic asp even before it was an abandoned technology. :/

Answer 1

Querystring contents are treated as string by default i believe..

But if you have to, you can always do String( request.querystring("foo") );

Are the keys known before-hand ? or you want to iterate through the pairs and retrieve both key and value ?
