Link and form field (with Javascript and Cookie)

[MarkEvans]

A question - Does anyone know how I can get a form to pick up a 'query string' from a link. An example how to do this, would be great! (poor at javascript)

Can anyone help me out this this ...

The situation:

I have a list of links on a page pointing to one form. How do I get the form to pick up which link was pressed and update a hidden 'subject' field on the form page.

e.g

LINK1: Enquire about 'a'
LINK2: Enquire about 'b'
LINK3: Enquire about 'c'

If the user pressed LINK2, the form (on the next page) would automatically have a subject field called "Enquire about 'b'" when submitted

I guess this can be done with Javascript and cookies, but I don't know how.

Any help would be great!

better to use some server side to create a new page. Do you use asp, or perl or something?
