Is it possible to loop round all querystring parameters in a web page (i.e.
access them without hardcoding them)?

I want to do this because I have a page that has different querystring
variables passed into it depending on the content of the calling page.

P.S. That would be querystring variables with names like

test_page.asp?var1=3&var2=2&var6=8&var9=6

How do I access var1, var2, var6 and var9 without hard coding them?

The following works with all the Request collections (Form, ServerVariables,
Querystring):

dim key
for each key in Request.Querystring
Response.Write key & ": " & Request.Querystring(key) & "<BR>"
next

Request.QueryString doesn't support a Contents property (like
Session) so you'll probably have to pull the QueryString apart
yourself, something like :

sQS = Request.QueryString
For Each eItem in Split( sQS, "&" )
sName = Left( eItem, Instr( eItem & "=", "=" ) - 1 )
Response.Write sName _
& " = " & Request.QueryString( sName ) _
& "<br>"
Next

Watch out; you may /still/ fall foul of URLEncode'd parameter names.
