Parameter passing in HTML

[topcat]

How can I pass a value from one page to another. Page 1 has a value (like price). the user click a button and the second page is displayed with the value from the first page already filled in. The user adds additional information (intrest rate, years etc) then clicks "Calculate" I have everything working except passing the initial price from the first page to the second. - Any ideas?

Of course, the most secure way to do it is by using a server-side language like PHP or CGI.
