Adding Form?

[Rolf Rosenquist]

I have an ASP page with a table that fills with records from a loop. Every
row gets a link to another ASP page with data from the row. The link is
written as <a href=newpage.asp?value1=xx&value2=yy .... and so on.

Now I try to let the user specify a number that should be sent to the other
page. But I do not want to clutter up every row with each an input field,
so I thought instead I would place it above all the data rows. When the user
clicks on the link, I want to include the input field to the querysting. The
problem here is that I cannot figure out how to refer to the name of the
input field.

Any ideas?

Instead of writing <a href> links for each row, you should try creating
<input type="submit"> elements, giving them the same value as your link.
Make the whole page a form, so when one of the submit buttons is clicked,
you can get its value, and also the value of the input field.

Sounds fine to me, I'll try that. Thanks for the idea!
