Hi docny,

You can add a variable to the link of your href:

<a href="page.html?var=value" title="Link Title">..</a>

Then, use the code from this thread:

[webmasterworld.com...]

To stip the variable from the URL at the receiving page.

Here is some code I wrote ages ago to do this. It will parse any search string (the bit in the URL to the right of "?") and automatically declare all search parameters as JavaScript variables with values. It handles both numeric and string variable types correctly. Just paste it in the head.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (location.search.length > 0) {
 launchString = location.search.substring(1, location.search.length);
 var launchStringArray = launchString.split("&");
 for (var i = 0; i <= launchStringArray.length - 1; i++) {
 var left = launchStringArray[i].substring(0, launchStringArray[i].indexOf("="));
 var right = launchStringArray[i].substring(launchStringArray[i].indexOf("=") + 1, launchString.length);
  if (isNaN(right)) {
  right = '"' + right + '"';
 }
 eval("var " + left + " = " + right);
 }
}
</script>
