Hi All Complete novice here. I would like to be able to open a link utilising a variable as the destination. Something like <a href=variablename><\a> where variablename specifies a page address within the website. But I can't work out how to parse the variable into the href statement. Basically I'm trying to produce a sort of breadcrumb trail, such that at the top of each page a user has a sequential list of the pages he has visited up until now - these are passed url encoded (it's simple and it doesn't need to be secure). I then strip the passed variable to get the previous page name. I would just like to make the sequential list clickable, such that a user can go back to any page he has already visited. I've got the site set such that each preceeding page passes it's address to the next page via url encoding (i.e. www.site.com?page=page1.html). The next page picks up the "page" variable. I would like to use that variable in an <a href statement, such that when I display the sequential list of previously visited pages (using the same variables passed by previous pages), they are displayed as links such that the user can use them to backtrack. I know one can use the history in Javascript, but that doesn't give the explicit page addresses, (only -1 or -n etc ) which is not what I want. This may be a complete waste of time, but hey, I want to do it! Any help gratefully received
