Does anyone know how to send important information between cgi scripts (like a password) without having it displayed in the address bar like this?:

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/myscri...d=sesamestreet

Maybe there's possibly a way to mask the URL or something...

Thanks in advance!

If you use the GET method in a form, you'll see what you describe. However. by using the POST method, you do not.

You can convert your links to be forms and not show any parameters.

Does this help?

Yes, this helps, but how you convert links to forms? I don't want to have to click on a button to follow the link. I want it to be text.

Use this...
<form name="theForm">
<input type=text name="formInput">
<a href="java script:document.theForm.submit();">Submit Link</a>
</form>



BTW, Glad to help!
