Hi Jon,
I'm guessing that the "id=1" part of the link you showed refers to the
section that the link zooms in on. How about changing the link to something
like:
<a href="javascript:zoomReport(1)">
to call the function shown below? You could also keep the links the way they
are but add onClick="zoomReport(1); return false;"> so that non-Javascript
browsers will still get the static URL written out by your server-side
script. The "1" parameter would be the ID value to pass over.
function zoomReport(id) {
sd = document.FormName.sd.options[document.FormName.sd.selectedIndex].value;
sm = document.FormName.sd.options[document.FormName.sm.selectedIndex].value;
sy = document.FormName.sd.options[document.FormName.sy.selectedIndex].value;
ed = document.FormName.sd.options[document.FormName.ed.selectedIndex].value;
em = document.FormName.sd.options[document.FormName.em.selectedIndex].value;
ey = document.FormName.sd.options[document.FormName.ey.selectedIndex].value;
newurl = "zoom.php";
newurl = url + "?id=" + id + "&sd=" + sd + "&sm=" + sm + "&sy=" + sy;
newurl = url + "&ed=" + ed + "&em=" + em + "&ey=" + ey;
document.location = newurl;
}
Obviously "FormName" in the code above is the name of the form on the page.
It's a bit clunky, but ought to do the trick for you!
