I'm probably a missing something, but almost always you can use GET. Of course if parameter string is bigger than 255 characters that is not a good idea, or if you want a user to be able to "bookmark" end page. But in any other case you should be able to do POST. > This works, but how do i get it so that the parameters and > their values > don't show in the address or status bar? If you want just to hide on first page it is easy: <a href="/eBiz/servlet/com.asucon.ebiz.common.web.DownloadAsExcelFileServlet?co ntextName=<%= contextName %>&pageName=<%= pageName%>&pageToDownload=shipmentList" onMouseOver="window.status='Download as an Excel file'; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=''; return true;" class="hyperbold" title="Download as an Excel file" >Download as an Excel file</a> Just use events onMouseOver and onMouseOut to cover. But for address bar in browser when you hit a destination page? You can open a new windows without address bar. And of course you can hit your application and redirect request from your servlet to some other site, but... But if somebody whant to find an URL, he will be able to do that. --Srdjan -------------------- Srdjan Pantic ASU Solutions, Inc. 3333 Bowers Ave, # 160 Santa Clara, CA 95054 phone (408) 654 7827 fax (408) 654 7820 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
