If the link is within an existing form and you can't easily use a querystring and want to avoid cookies, make the link launch a Javascript function which empties the info into another form, and submits it. At the bottom of the page, add this:

Code:

<form name="newForm" method="POST" action="linktopage.htm" style="margin:0px;padding:0px">
<input type="hidden" name="info" />
</form>

obviously changing the 'action' attribute to your destination page. Then put the following as your link:

Code:

<a href="javascript:document.newForm.info.value='your NETQUOTEVAR text';document.newForm.submit();return false">Click here</a>

When clicked, the form info will be available on the destination page. One thing to avoid is any single and double quotes in your NETQUOTEVAR text.

Thanks! I will give it a go.

I have managed to do something with java that generates the popup html on the fly and is called by the link I want (basically its a popup that says "recommend product to a friend", and then the popup is generated with the references etc as part of the html. This is then used with sendmail to email it out.

I think your way would be more effiecent as there minimal javascript involved and faster as the html is already created.

Thanks a lot,
Paul.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function recommend_popup(name,desc)
{
var generator=window.open('','Recommend This Product','height=135,width=258');
generator.document.write('<html><head><title>Recommend This Product</title>');
generator.document.write('<link type="text/css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="actinic.css">');
generator.document.write('</head><body>');
generator.document.write('<div style="margin:20px;><form method="post" name="prodrec_form" action="http://www.anything-goes.co.uk/acatalog/sendmail_product_recommend.php"><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=ACTINIC_REFERRER VALUE='http://www.anything-goes.co.uk/cgi-bin/bb000001.pl?PRODUCTPAGE=adhesives_oils_and_liquids.html'>');
generator.document.write('<label for="from">Your Name:</label><br class="caform_br">'); 
generator.document.write('<input class="caform_text" type=text name="from" value="" size="40">');
generator.document.write('<label for="to">Your Friends Email:</label><br class="caform_br">'); 
generator.document.write('<input class="caform_text" type=text name="to" value="" size="40">');
generator.document.write('<input type=hidden name="name" value="'+ name +'">');
generator.document.write('<input type=hidden name="desc" value="'+ desc +'">');
generator.document.write('<input type=hidden name="url" value="'+ document.url +'">');
generator.document.write('<br class="caform_br"><br class="caform_br">');
generator.document.write('<input class="ca_submit_right" value="Submit" type="submit">');
generator.document.write('</form></div>');
generator.document.write('</body></html>');
generator.document.close();
}
