O.B,
I understand this. This is not the issue. There are two problems in your code that are causing issues. One is that you give the variable srcURL a value AFTER you try to use that variable in your editor. You are doing this:
<%
Dim editor
...
editor.Text = srcURL
%>
<% srcURL = ... %>
When you need to be doing this:
<% srcURL = ... %>
<%
Dim editor
...
editor.Text = srcURL
%>
The second is that you are giving srcURL a value like:
messagebody.asp?blabla=1462
rather than the actual code to that page which would be something like:
<html>
...
</html>
Hope this answers your questions.
Thanks,
Max
