Re: [Easy400Group] passing parms from a prompt window

[Juli Manteufel]

I have looked at the examples and searched a few places online. I did have the basics set up like you have shown me but I keep getting an error "HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden". Would you possibly send me in a direction to correct this? I would appreciate it. Thanks, Juli  >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/27/2006 9:25:28 AM >>> CGIDEV2 has a ton of samples showing you how to pass data into a program from a browser, opening additional windows etc. Have you looked at any of them? To anwer you quickly if you have and are still confused, the browser starts the program with the URL http://server_name/directory/program.pgm?Parm1=data&Parm2=moredata Your program would access the data in parm1 and parm2 with: eval data1=zhbgetvar('PARM1') eval data2=zhbgetvar('PARM2') If you need to create a window that gets data with an input variable, then you need a form, and a post <form name="inform" method="post" action=""> when the form is posted, it will construct the proper URL based upon the variables in the form that are designated input.
