Question on Passing URL Parameters

Question

Thanks in advance for any responses to this question!
I have a dynamic table (in a master page using javascript and
asp) that links to a detail page, passing a parameter (the ID of a
product) to identify the correct row to display in the detail
page's recordset. Everything works great.
I decided I wanted to have this detail page be a "popup" in
which I control the window properties with javascript.
The problem I'm having is this: when I put the javascript
code (for the popup window's properties) in the href of the dynamic
table cell that links to the detail page, it's no longer passing
the parameter properly.
Here's the code BEFORE the javascript was entered:
<td width="95" class="product_cell"><div
align="center"><a href="detail_container.asp?<%=
Server.HTMLEncode(MM_keepNone) + ((MM_keepNone!="")?"&":"") +
"ID=" + rsHDPE.Fields.Item("ID").Value
%>"><%=(rsHDPE.Fields.Item("image").Value)%></a></div></td>
As you can see, detail_container.asp is the detail page, and
?<%= Server.HTMLEncode(MM_keepNone) +
((MM_keepNone!="")?"&":"") + "ID=" +
rsHDPE.Fields.Item("ID").Value %> is the asp code that
dreamweaver included to pass the parameter.
Now, if I WAS NOT passing a parameter, here's the line
including javascript code - which I have tested with success - to
open the popup window to my specifications:
<td width="95" class="product_cell"><div
align="center"><a
href="javascript:poptastic('detail_container.asp');"><%=(rsHDPE.Fields.Item("image").Valu e)%></a></div></td>
(yeah, poptastic is a silly name for a function, isn't it?)
But how do I combine these to get the parameter to pass AND
control the window properties?
Because this doesn't work:
<td width="95" class="product_cell"><div
align="center"><a
href="javascript:poptastic('detail_container.asp');?<%=
Server.HTMLEncode(MM_keepNone) + ((MM_keepNone!="")?"&":"") +
"ID=" + rsHDPE.Fields.Item("ID").Value
%>"><%=(rsHDPE.Fields.Item("image").Value)%></a></div></td>
How can I pull this off? Is my syntax wrong?

Answer 1

Of course, if you look at the linked URL, you won't see any
of this code,
right?
