passing a value to another page

[mrmtek]

basic problem:
I have a text box which a user can change (enter the exchange rate), how do you pass the value entered by the user with out using a form where $rate needs to contain the value entered into the text text box.

<a href='appDatacalc.php?recid=$ref&exrate=$rate'>

Use JavaScript!

<a href="javascriptassValues();">...</a>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function passValues () {
var recid = document.formname.inputname.value;
var exrate = document.formanme.inputname2.value;
window.location.href = "appDatacalc.php?recid="+recid+"&exrate="+exrate;
}
// -->
</script>

HTH,
