passing variables via links

[cherphas]

Is there a way to pass variables via links? Like:

<A href=&quot;page1.cfm?number=#queryName.Number#&quot;>Link 1</a>

to pass it is no problem, but how do I retreive it in the next page?

#queryName.Number# would be a number taken from a database, when the user clicks on the link, the next page load up, and it get all the the rows in databse where number = =#queryName.Number#.

You can use the URL parameter &quot;number&quot; in the next page as the following:

<CFQUERY datasource=&quot;myDSN&quot; name=&quot;myQ&quot;>
SELECT * FROM myTable
WHERE number = #URL.number#
</CFQUERY>

In your example:

  <a href=&quot;page1.cfm?number=#queryName.Number#&quot;>Link 1</a>

When the user clicked on the link, you could access the value of the variable using the URL scope:

  <cfoutput>#URL.number#</cfoutput>
