The conceptual bit that you may be missing is that you can POST data to a php script without using a form. The javascript XMLHttpRequest object can make GET or POST requests in the background, without any kind of user intervention. The onclick event sends a background request to your script, then sends the user on their way to the linked url. As far as I know you don't even have to wait around for the response. Disadvantage is that you have to learn how AJAX works. But the advantage over a simple redirect script is that Google and others will see your links as normal links. -- Chris Snyder http://chxo.com/ _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
