That link is the page with the DIV enclosing the links I want to pass
to the text box below it.
That DIV contains a (java)script that has the link

<div id="buzzcloud_5c991299_271c_4aa5_b57d_091a6480ceea_RND_"
class="_QUICK_FORMAT_"><div

These links are fairly dynamic and sorta hidden by the javascript
call.

One Div appears to be "hotsearches". Can I pass the links contained in
that DIV to the form field?

The "link is the page"? Please get your terminology right first, ...

Are you trying to just get the target or the whole content of the A
tag? You could attach and event handler to loop through the div's A's
and either extract the self.href or add onclick handlers to fill a
different items' 'value' with self.href - and of course return false()
after.

So, for example, if you had a text box with id="targetbox", you could
have this on your A.... <a href="blah.html"
onclick="document.getElementById('targetbox').value=self.href;return
false">Goto blah!</a>

There might be a more efficient way to do this - or I'm not
understanding fully what you're trying to accomplish either.

thanks aaron
I am trying to get the link target.
I'm using the cloud from eurekster because of it's flexiblity. But
before I go to the result page generated by that (cloud)link, I'd also
like to pass the link to a text field for use. Once the link is
clicked on, the page will still open as normal, only within a frame.
Using the link captured in the text field, I would then create a
second frame and feed the (edited) contents to a custom search.

This is all for a google gadget I've been working on.
