Pass database id through href

Hi. I want to update mysql database with parent value of page. I have several fields in my form. I have a generated map of web site pages as hyperlinks at end of form. (generated recursively) I want to be able to click on hyperlink & have it pass the "parent" value to the next PHP script. The point of this is to select the "parent" page of the new/modified page EXAMPLE: (I know you can't use "value" with the "a" tag, but bear with me for illustration purposes in this pseudo-code) <form name="theForm"> <input type="text" name="title"> <!-- etc with the fields --> <input type=text name="formInput"> <a href="javascript:document.theForm.submit();" name="parent" value="23">Auditing Home</a> <a href="javascript:document.theForm.submit();" name="parent" value="17">Finance Home</a> <a href="javascript:document.theForm.submit();" name="parent" value="122">Planning Home</a> <a href="javascript:document.theForm.submit();" name="parent" value="231">Tax Home</a> </form> When the admin clicks on one of the "parent" hyperlinks, the form is submitted with (in this example) (say they click on the "Tax Home" link) the values: $title == [whatever the user types into the text field] $parent == 231 How do I get this $parent value from the html page?? Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Gav
