Re: [PHP3] pass text field data through get method? From: Tim Perdue, PHPBuilder.com (tim <email protected>)

You could try messing with JavaScript and use the onUnload method to submit
the form for you.

It would probably redirect the user to your form-post page though, unless
you got super-fancy with your javascript.

><FORM>
><INPUT NAME="thetxt" TYPE="text" SIZE="25">
><A HREF="http://blah/process_page.php3?page=page1&text=<? echo
$thetxt;?>">page1 link</A>
><A HREF="http://blah/process_page.php3?page=page2&text=<? echo
$thetxt;?>">page2 link</A>
><A HREF="http://... this link, that link and so on.
