Tracking the anchor link with asp

[Bastien]

Hi everyone,

I am trying o figure out how I can track which anchor link is clicked from a dynamic index created when a user chooses a client id. I need to pass this along to create a sql script for another database query based on which linked is clicked.

Any ideas, anyone????

thanks

Hi,

I have many ideas, but I don't know exactly what you want. Let me see if I understood. You have a list of anchors, each one with a (virtual) given ID.
When you create this page you know which IDs you want to pass through, so when you create the anchor put that information on the anchor. How? Using QueryStrings.

<a href=TARGET_URL?id=<% =id %>>ID Text</a>

On the TARGET_URL you only have to get the ID and use it:

id = Request.QueryString("id")

There are other ways, you can use a form or/and JavaScript to do that but QueryStrings is the easiest way.
