Don't do the browser's job. If you want to offer hard-coded instance information, put it in a hidden field: <input type=hidden name="instance" value="25"> As it is the "?instance=25" is sitting in the way of a steamroller. Since appending this information is the browsers job, all you will do by trying to duplicate it is to lose information. Also, HTML keywords such as POST do not need to be quoted. > the page im linking from has a <TEXTAREA> that gets filled in by a user. > > <textarea NAME="content" ROWS="15" COLS="60" style="background-color: > #CCCCCC" scrolling="no">Prima Gallery,</textarea> 15 and 60 are not going to be used in a string context, and should not be quoted. The browser will read it anyway, but it is less clear. Save quotes for strings that are used for their string value, such as name, value, href, action, and src.attributes. Try putting your instance information in a hidden input field, and let us know what results you get.
