Hi,
Can anyone help me with this one?
I have a form with a textbox on it called 'textbox1'.
I need to get my users to type a phrase into the box, and then click a link to take them to a search form.
I want to pass the value of the text they type as a parameter to the search form.
Add a new parameter and selecting type 'form' seems to be logical, in the field 'sourcename' no matter how I format textbox1 the link wont pick it up.
How do I reference the link dialog to pick up the vlaue in the the textbox??
Any ideas gratefullyl received. It is probably really simple and I am just an idiot.
David.

Hi David,
I have an idea for you.
Page 1 - The first page with the desired link behavior
Page 2 - The search form page
On Page 1:
Create a search form, name the field whatever you want your parameter named. Set the Return Page property of the form to the search form page. Set the inline CSS style of the search button of the form to look like a link.
The following style should do the trick:
background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: blue; text-decoration: underline; cursor: hand;
On Page 2:
Use request.form("fieldname") access the submitted value where fieldname is the name you used on Page 1.

easy...
before or after insert event save contents of field to a session.
Set value of the control on the second page to the session, do it all the time 
PS: you're not an idiot  Sometimes you have to think different to get the best out of CCS.

In the end I used the client side onchange event and extracted the value of the textbox to a var using
var xx
xx=document.getelementbyID("... full id of control here").value
then set
document.getelementbyID(".. full id of link here").href=xx
and it all worked amazingly enough! That tip via yessoftware support people.....
Thanks for your help and responses..
