I've got a cgi/perl script, flat file search engine, that puts out a list of categories to search by. However, the categories are listed as titles and only usable by clicking a radio button next to them.

The titles are themselves being created as clickable links. How can I convert these categories into actual clickable links? The categories are stored as a text file. The search results are being pulled from a flat file .dat separtated by ¦ 's.

What would be the easiest way to convert these categories to actual clickable links, instead of just usable with the radio buttons?

By the way, you can see the actual information I'm talking about at <snip>

Thanks,

Well, they just have to point to the CGI that would handle the form... and make sure the values are pass as a query string. So, something like this would work:

path_to_file/file.cgi?radio_button_name=value
