Referencing a data item from DRW elsewhere in a page

I am using the DRW to return a single data item from a SQL database and need
to use that value elsewhere on my webpage.

Is it possible to reference this value using a variable name?

I tried acutally putting the DRW form at the location where I need the data,
but it does not behave correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Can you give me a hint on what the JavaScript would be? I don't know Java
and need to get this figured out soon. I admit it is something I need to
study, but is not in my regular field of expertise.
 
Find the field name used by the DBRW in the DBR region
Say fp_rs("somefieldname")
In Code view right after it (but in the DBR region) add an ASP variable
<% myfield = fp_rs("somefieldname") %>

Then refer to it later in the page as
<%=myfield%>
