Question on Passing URL Parameters

[iiinsomniiiac]

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("ima
ge").Value)%></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?

It is very confusing to see different partial HTML/js code. If you please post
a URL link to your example page you are working on. It is easier that way,
where you will get some help more effective and productive way.

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