Parameters to CGI function

Parameters to CGI function with anHTML link

[magdai]

Is it possible to send parameters to a CGI-function with a link? if not, how can I make it?

example: <a href="index.html?param1=test1" target="_top">test</a>

You can send it like that, which is the GET method, or in a form, which is generally a POST method. How it is handled depends on the program used to perform the "cgi-function." Usually that's a program on the server in perl, php, asp, cold fusion, or some other server-side programming language.

Thanks for answering.

So basically 'index.html' needs to include a program that can handle the get method.
