Here's the situation:
I have category pages, each of which has a Title and I would like to add a 'buy-a-link' text link to each of these pages.
This link would lead the visitor to ONE page which would consist of an order form which would also include a pull-down selection menu of the aforementioned pages, by title... On that note, the selector can be in the form of radio or check boxes as well, aesthetics are not that big a deal, but this next part is:
What I want to do is PASS the Title information TO the form via the link so as to facilitate category selection to the visitor, the page they just came from would then come up pre-selected.
Reason being I am not in the mood to create a separate purchase page for each and every page on my site that will eventually sport said links...
I got a start on this here:
[htmlgoodies.com...]
A method which, even though it doesn't pass the information to a selector, would nevertheless be appropriate, as I am not that concerned about the aesthetics, so long the visitor has this information on the order page already there.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
<FORM method="GET" action="NextPage.htm">
<P><INPUT type="text" name="testVariable" size="20" value="testVariable"></P>
<P><INPUT type="submit" value="Submit"></P>
</FORM>
Then, on the next page, retrieve passed info:
