The solutions that Charlie and Duane provided are perfectly good, but it's worth pointing out that URLs have a search attribute, which you can set directly: <a href="/account/index.cfm?mode=wishlist&productid=" onclick="this.search+=document.forms[0].mySelect.options[document.forms[0].mySelect.selectedIndex].value">Add to Wishlist</a> The advantage of this approach, if you even want to call it that, is that you can modify rather than overwrite the URL assigned to the href attribute of the link.
