Re^2: Environment Variable Question

NetWallah,
I think you're probably right in my confusing the sides of the connection.
I assumed there was variables transmitted like env variables back to client side as it seems odd that the server would generate a link to a page and write variables as just placeholders with no dynamic content otherwise whats the point.
Thanks for the input.

Regards Paul

I'll take a shot at guessing the intent of the web page : The {VALUE} placeholder may be used to trigger the receiving page (CGI App) to insert a pre-defined {VALUE} at a pre-determined place or places in response to the clicked item. Without more page context, I cannot speculate further. "There are only two truly infinite things. The universe and stupidity, and I'm not too sure about the universe"- Albert Einstein	[reply]
