Pass a form variable through a hyperlink

All, Is there a way to pass a #form.variable#  to a form from a hyperlink? I'm trying to pass a string to a processing page from a hyperlink becuase the processing page is not under our control and we're being told there's code to handle strings passed via the URL scope. Any ideas? Thanks D

you can pass form variables directly in the URL by using the GET method of the <form> tag (this is also the default method if you don't specify one). <form method="get"> If you need a hyperlink from the form's action page, just add it to the URL. <a href="http://www.xyz.com/page.cfm?myVar=#form.fieldName#">click here or you suck</a> On 2/23/07, coldfusion.developer@att.net <coldfusion.developer@att.net> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

By default, any variable you pass using a URL goes into the URL scope. They'd have to have some code on the other end to evaluate your form.variable=78.
