Hi, I am relatively new to web programming and I am working with yahoo sitebuilder. The problem I am having is linking to a page which requires that I input information in order for the visiting party to be able to access the secure webpage. This is for registration purposes, so in order for my guests to register with my refernece information, i need to have the link input my email address into the webform everytime the link is clicked from my webpage. There is a similar website that is doing the exact thing I need, when I scroll over the link with my mouse i get ....com/index.php Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure this belongs in this forum, but it sounds like what you're talking about is a GET query, which is a common way of posting information from a form. You have seen GET query's many times in the address bar of your web-browser, and they look something like this: (website goes here)/form.php?q=whatever&w=whatelse

Now, to send this information to a page, you can either link to it such as this: <a href="form.php?q=whatever&w=whatelse">Go to page!</a> Or you can use the GET method via a form, and make the name values of the correct fields 'q' and 'w' or whatever you need for corresponding fields for them to process correctly. For all intensive purposes, 'q' and 'w' are variables that can hold information.

Hope that helps.
