Passing variables in classic ASP

Question

I am dealing with legacy code where there is another ASP page.

<!--#INCLUDE virtual="/PAGE1.ASP"-->

to get a variable, say x, from this page, I believe that I will do:

x = Request.Form("x")

right?

Also, are variable case sensitive for classic .asp files?

Many thanks.

You should consider that the page was embedded in one continuous page, so if you include several files .asp, they will make up your completed page.

For example, if you have three files:

File_1.asp

<h1>Hello, World!</h1>

File_2.asp

<p>This file will be included too!</p>

File_3.asp

<%Dim version
version = 1.1%>

... and include them in a single kernel file ...

File_Output.asp

<!-- #include virtual="file_1.asp" -->
<!-- #include virtual="file_2.asp" -->
<!-- #include virtual="file_3.asp" -->
<% Response.Write(version) %>

File_Output.asp version, File_3.asp.

Assuming that it PAGE1.ASPdeclares a type variable dim foo, this variable is global, and the parent page can access it through foo, for example. foo = "bar".
