submitting forms from links

I have an HTML page that contains a number of checkboxes. When the user selects a box on the page it becomes checked - simple.

The page contains links that make the page redisplay itself in some other format. However, by clicking the link, those checkboxes that were checked become unchecked.

Question is, how can I simulate a submit from the links on the page so that when a link is selected, the values from the checkboxes are submitted and accessible from the next page?

Thanks in advance

I don't know how to do this in an html page, but when you use an asp page, you can retrieve the values in a page by using the Request.Form() method. You need to put the checkboxes in a form and sumbit the form.

Code:

<body> <script language="JavaScript"> function submitMyForm() { document.myForm.submit(); } </script> <form id="myForm">  </form> <a href="www.someotherplace.com" onClick="submitMyForm()">Text Here</a> </body>
