Odd HREF q.

[nzgirl]

I need an underlined text as a link.
HREF does that, but I need to save some vars first.
I'm doing this by using the HREF to call the screen again with action specified but I lose the variable values...
So I tried the below BUT they don't come through until a POST...
<a href=&quot;screen.asp?Action=channel&RID=<% = RID%>&FN=<% = FirstName%>&E=<% = Email%>&LN=<% = LastName%>&C=<% = Company%>&quot;>Channels</a>

Is there a way I can call a function only within an HREF??

Thanks

Seems like you're going round in circles there, literally.
Have you got some kind of if.. save vars else.. statement going on. To maintain the values in the href you would need to request them but obviously using the same code that wont work on the first pass

Yeah. I thought of creating session vars... but that won't work either...
may have to give up and use a button..

Why not just make your first href conditional and have a second href that is displayed after the submit which gets its value via request(&quot;RID&quot

RID isn't always populated.
Flow = enter Email address and submit. Checks for value in database.
If they don't exist nothing happens. If they do then the values for firstname etc are returned.
Then if you want to look at Channels you click on the underlined text. If the email address wasn't found before you need to add the person to the database and then go on.
The button works... :-(

you can't just do this :
<% = BuildButton(&quot;&quot;, &quot; Channels&quot;, 0, 0, &quot;document.Form.Action.value='Channel'; document.Form.submit();&quot;, &quot;&quot;, &quot;&quot;, &quot;&quot;, &quot;&quot %>
with an HREF can u? I guess it needs to submit so the values come through...

hmpf.
