Hi all!
I have a page (generated with PHP) that has a list of employee names. What I want to do is, when the user hits on each name, a pop-up window (using Javascript) to appear which will say some more details on the employee (i.e his age, job experience etc).
So I thought I make a form for each employee name, and use hidden fields to pass the info I want.
For example
With the above, I show a little example of course. What I have is a submit button with John's name written in it and I want, when the user clicks on John, a pop-up window to appear and contain the "hidden" values of age and experience in it.
I don't know much about Javascript, i tried usind the document.write function, but no luck. I can only "send" data to the next page that are written in an input field, but not data that are written in hidden fields...
Any thoughts?

why no just do a regular link such as:
<?php<a href="http://www.domain.com/details.php?age=23;&exp=expert&name=John\">John</a>
?>
then in details.php just grab the values from the $_POST[] array ($_POST['age'] $_POST['exp'] $_POST['name'] )

Those would actually be _GET vars Greg.

oops, my bad. You are right
So my method my not be a good solution, as they may have been wanting it to actually not be in a query string.
To actually do it as a $_POST, then you do have to use as a form as the example given orginally.
