Encode you hyperlink like this. http://cgi.zipworld.com.au/~bhandley/cgidump.r?your-id=123456789 Which would be the same as if a HTML form was submitted with an input element of "your-id" that value 123456789. > I have thought of another option, albeit more cumbersome.

Hope this was what you wanted. Brett.
