bookmarks using perl

[kobe]

Hello !

I have web page that has some radio buttons on it and when the user clicks on it it runs a perl script and gets a value for each button clicked( no problem). But after I have the value of the button I want to jump to a hypertext link (bookmark) within the same page. Is this possible? What is the command to do this?

Thanks
Kobe

Hmmm... This may be a bad hack for your problem, but it'll work:

When the user clicks the button, make it re-load the page with a deal like:

<a href = &quot;

http://www.thePage.com/page.html#section&quot;>

This should do it, you can get a good tutorail about sections and stuff at

http://www.about.com

on html if you don't know that (I'd imagine you do). I don't know if you can do it without following a hyper link. If it's a large page with pics and stuff, they should be cached, so the second time it should load much faster...

Good Luck
MWB.
As always, I hope that helped!

Thanks for your response but if I reload the page i'll lose the info on the form thats already been entered won't I? I guess i'll have to use plain old hypertext bookmarks. But thanks so much for your response.

Javascript would be much more efficient for this purpose than using perl and rewriting the page.

I LOVE perl, but I use Javascript for things like this too.
