Pass the value of a input box through a hyperlink

[Martix]

I think I finaly figured it out.

I put in a row of inputs with different values but all with the same
name.

In the .asp I did a request.form for the value of the input with the
employee number and the value of the submit button. Because all the
submit buttons have the same name it ends up that it gets the value of
the submit button that was clicked.

I know it's probably not the best way to do it, but it works.

I'd like to thank everybody that put up with me and at least tried to
help me out. I really appreciate it.

Thanks

Yes you could use a control array or as in my example different names
for each submit and only the one clicked will send the var. Do not know
ASP, but in PHP you text for the existence of the server var

if( isset($_POST['history']) ){
// means the submit button named 'history' was clicked...
}

Until I started this project I knew nothing about ASP or PHP. But
since I started I learnt a lot about ASP, JSCRIPT, AJAX, HTML.

I'm learning as a go. There are probably easier ways to do things then
the way I did but I got it done somehow. It is an intranet site so I
don't expect high usage.
