passing a value in a link

[Beach Bum]

i want to pass a value through a link in to new window.

i think have seen examples that look like:

href="http://whatever.com?x=100"

passing the variable x being equal to 100?

is that right? can someone give me an example of the whole picture? then how do i test the value of x in the new window? i assume through some js code?

Dave -

I think I just took a gulp from the fire hose. I can not follow - but it looks neat!

maybe if i knew the simple workings i could then follow your more complicated example.

So stepping back to the basics . . .

I am just after a simple href="name and variable/value"

then how do I retrieve that value in the named page.

and i don't have access to server side code for this site so i will need to use js.

so . . . one more time please . . . the basic href example and simple approach

got it - thanks Dave :)
