Hi Anonymous Monk,

Hmmm... Yes, it easy, depending on what you want to do. Are you

a) Trying to execute what ever is in &toggle_on and put the output of that text in your A HREF command, or are you

b) Trying to get &toggle_on to execute when you click the ON hyperlink? It almost looks like this is what you're trying to do. If so, you're going the wrong way.

Solution A 

print "<a href=" . &toggle_on . ">ON</a>";

Solution B 

  #get the UNWEB procedure in here
  $FORM=&unweb;

if($FORM{action} eq "toggleon")
{
   &toggle_on;
}
else
{
   print "<a href=\"?action=toggleon\">ON</a>\n";
}

This is a very simplified way of going.
