Sorry, I'm not sure how to ask this question. I'm wanting to put a link on my page that not only takes the viewer to the new page; but also fills in a value text at the other end. Seems like I've clicked on these sorts of links before myself; how is that done? Feel free to point and laugh if this is a stupid question.

You'll need a scripting language like PHP to enable dataflow between two pages.

If you create a link like this:

<a href="filename.php?name=text">Click me</a>

Then in the filename.php you can catch and print it with the following code.

PHP Code:

if(isSet($_GET['name'])) echo $_GET['name']; 


There are a lot of other ways of doing this, but you will need to use a scripting langauge.
