Hello,

I have a text box MyTextBox. How can I programmatically set the value in
ASP?
An example please.

Thanks.

Response.write the value into its value attribute:

<input type="text" name="MyTextBox" value="
<%= "some value" %>">

Thanks Bob. But if I try later to change the value, which comes from a
database for example, how do I do it?

Everything is done by writing to Response. I'm not really sure what you are
asking.

Please reply to the newsgroup. This email account is my spam trap so I
don't check it very often. If you must reply off-line, then remove the
"NO SPAM"

I need a sample of ASP code, VB or Java script to set the value of a textbox
once I return values from the database or perform a calculation for example.

I would start by browsing through the messages in this newsgroup. Tons of
examples.
There are sites that provide tutorials as well.

Sorry if I was not clear. I looked into different samples over the internet,
W3school included and I could not find what I am looking for. Forgetting
about SQL, I want to change the value of an existing textbox control with a
value, different from the original one, through ASP-VBScript or JScript.

Or maybe it's not possible to change the original value of a control through
VBScript or JavaScript?

Do you mean doing it in the client-side code? If so, post your question to a
client-side newsgroup.

All ASP does is generate the html that is sent to the client. Once it's
loaded in the client's browser, ASP is out of the picture.

Welcome to the group.
Unless you really have some time to kill, you might want to make a point
of reading through all the replies in a thread before replying yourself.
if you had you would have realized that Dan got his answer a week ago.
