Re: POST from a hyperlink

The answer involves using JavaScript.

<form action="cgi2.cgi" method="POST" name="thisForm">
  <input type="hidden" name="variable2" value="value1" />
  <a href=" " onClick="thisForm.submit()">next page</a>
</form>

I'm not fully positive on the exact parameters to the <a> tag. I've only tested this with IE 6. It might not work correctly on other browsers.

Thanks for that example. I'll give it a try and throw it through a few different browsers. I appreciate your help. Joe	[reply]
