Help Passing Values to Applet.

[ghettohacker]

i've set up a java applet, PIRC, on my website to allow users to log into my irc server from website. i can't figure out how to pass values from a log in page to the applet for to allow users to change their nick before they connect.

access to the applet is from http://hybrixraven.com/ghettohacker/ixl2_web/chat.htm
which is where i'd like to create a form to pass a nickname to the applet.
the param i must pass a nick to is:

<param name="nick" value="Anon???">

a simple way to pass info from a form to the applet would be best. if anyone can help, or give me a tip it would be greatly appriciated

You will need a small server-side script such as PHP to accept the value posted from the form, if you the action parameter of your form points to the chat page then:

<param name="nick" value="<?=$_POST['nick']?>">
