If you look up the HTTP & CGI specs, you will see the significans of the ? + % and & symbols. ? saying, "this is where my url location ends, the rest is variable assignments. + are spaces encoded. %## is a urlencoded character, useful for passing spaces, pluses and ANYTHING. & is a variable assignment seperator. = of course, is how you assign a value to a variable.

Tnx Podmaster for the HTTP/CGI correction

And rememember to HTML-entitize that if you're using it in an HTML message (as opposed to a HTTP redirect). Your "&"s need to be turned in to "&".

I am using param() method but it is returning me a null. It is like this. My page has 2 frames. The left side frame has links like Add Product, Edit Product Info, Delete Product etc. I want these three links to call my products.cgi. I want to know how to do it. I am calling the CGI as hREF=".../admin/products.cgi", I want to know How can I pass the value???
