Hi list,

We have a report on our intranet, with a <form> at the top which lets the
users choose the dates on which to base the report and allows them to set a
simple filter (screen grab of the top of the report at
http://laughing-buddha.net/tmp/report.gif). The combo boxes on the form that
control the dates are called "sd", "sm", "sy", "ed", "em" and "ey". 

For each row of the output there are a couple of icons allowing users to
zoom into the section and get a more detailed report. Each of the "zoom"
links looks something like this:

  <a href="zoom.php?id=1&sd=16&sm=8&sy=2002&ed=16&em=8&ey=2002">

The variables in this link hold the dates as chosen by the user in the form
at the top, so if they click on one of them, their detail report covers the
same date range as the overview.

So far so good? Good. Here comes the problem :-)

A number of our less technical users are having problems calling up detail
reports. They change the dates in the combo boxes, then click an icon
without re-submitting the form. The detail report is then for a date range
different to the one they think they asked for, IYSWIM. 

I don't think I can solve this server-side, so (unless someone can come up
with a better idea) I'm after a fast client-side way to dynamically rewrite
these links if the values in the combo boxes change.

Any ideas? Alternative solutions gratefully received as well :-)

Cheers
Jon
