Help with passing values via url hyperlinks
I have 7 buttons on a page each relates to a separate application form so when I click on a button it passes to the appropriate application form each button will have the hyper link a href="formpage.cfm?button=value" with each form have an independent value to identify the different forms so that I do not have to have 7 separate pages for one for each application form I can one page that contain all 7 forms on it and then use cfif statements in combination with #url.button# = a value to have the appropriate form on the page displayed dependant on which button is clicked my question is what is the correct code to add after the ? on the url and the appropriate corresponding code to have in the cfif statement in order to have the formpage execute the correct form based on the relevant value passed from the each of the 7 buttons on the previous page sorry if I am talking long winded I feel like I am maxwell smart mind you I have been awake for 19 hrs straight sitting here so I am a bit withered I look forward to your replies and thank you in advance Kind Regards Claude Raiola (Director) AustralianAccommodation.com Pty.

Re: Help with passing values via url hyperlinks
Here's the basic idea... URL: a href="formpage.cfm?button=value" action page: if url.button=optiona do this stuff if url.button=optionb do different stuff else do some default thing If the forms are basically the same, you can just set the form's action attribute and use the same form. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Help with passing values via url hyperlinks
It sounds like what you really want to do is name your submit buttons like
so:
input type="submit" value="Submit this form" name="form1"
Each submit button would have a different name. Then on your action page
(formpage.cfm) you would do something like so:
cfif isdefined("form.form1")
do your code for form 1
cfelseif isdefined("form.form2")
etc...
/cfif
Hope that helps.
