Hi ALL

This is my first post peeps and need some help. Im tring to pass a some info via a querystring, example:
<a href=”http://www.blah-blah.com/index.asp?myname=amar&function=WEBPAGE&page=4″>AMAR</a>

myname is what i am trying to pass to another page whcih works fine.

But what i am having difficulty with is getting myname to populate a text box in a form on the second page, so the user doesnt have to do it themselves.

Would appreciate some help please.

Thanks
