Passing parameters from a dataview via querystring

Question

I have a dataview that displays the items from a list. I inserted a column and added a hyperlink, from there I added whatever parameters I wanted to pass, this works great. Now how can I do this with a button instead of a hyperlink? I tried to do it by adding a button instead of a hyperlink to my new column and placing this code inside my button: document.location.href = ('http://something/something.aspx' + <xsl:value-of select="@whateverparameteriwanttopass"/>)

However instead of getting the specific value for the parameter of the row where I click the button like it does with the hyperlink, it always gives me the value of the last item in the dataview. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Try replacing <xsl:value-of select="@whateverparameteriwanttopass"/> with {@whateverparameteriwanttopass}

Answer 2

No dice, already tried it, page gives an error when I click the button and does nothing.

Answer 3

Try replaing the code to create your button with the following:

<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Button Title" ONCLICK="window.location.href='http://something/something.aspx?ID={@ID}'"/>

Replace "?ID=" with the name of your parameter, (e.g. "?Myparameter=")
Replace {@ID} with the column name used for the parameter source (e.g. {whateverparameteriwanttopass})

This worked on my end.
