Hi all,

I have a problem in CGI, to hide the parameters in the Address Bar..

I know about <FORM method="post">, but that is not my question.

In my home page, there is a url link with parameters like, <A HREF="http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test.cgi?name=tom&value=12&id=52345">Test Link</A>.

when the above link is clicked by the user, the parameters like "name=tom&value=12&id=52345" are display in the Address Bar.

What is my expectation is that in the Address bar, only "http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test.cgi" should be displayed and the parameters should be suppressed.

I tried a lot through even javascript but it is not working.

Please could anyone help me.

Thanks in advance.
