Javascript question... PLEASE!

Okay.. I need to have people redirected once they hit a certain web address and have it set a value for a particular field on the form they're sent to. How can I do that? PLEASE. Thanks, Maggie __________________ This redirects a people from one page to another: [This message has been edited by hapoo (edited 08-17-2000).] __________________ content=0 by changing this value, you change how long it takes to redirect. __________________ i can give you more info (on the form thing too), just icq me: 3857656 __________________ [This message has been edited by hapoo (edited 08-17-2000).] __________________ Now if I'm going from my page to someone else's, will this still modify the content of the field? __________________ it depends if that page is a cgi. then the forms might have a variable set to the value thus u can set it using the usually GET method -> ?var=somthing or POST if you using a interface that support post. __________________ Okay... this is the problem. There is a referral program called prizedispenser. I registered 3 misspellings. I want to link these to my referral link, but for some reason it doesn't give credit unless you actually type in the referral name (Bizarre since they give you banners and all.) So, what I'm wanting to do is have these other domains point to the signup form for the real site... and automatically fill the referred by field in the form. Make sense? I thought it was a pretty good idea, however their direct referral links don't work. Anyone know a way around this? Hapoo says I have to build a dummy form that posts to the same place, but I think that could get me in some serious legal trouble.

I tried setting up a frameset where the parent frame attempted to set a field value in the child frame. It worked when they were both on the same server. But not when it was live. HELP! Maggie
