Re: Hyperlink to act like submit button...

[Paul Campbell]

Oops, ignore what I just said.  My appologies for not reading your
email properly.  I replied base on your subject alone.

As to your question, yes it is possible.  However, you only use the
'?' to signify that parameter pairs follow.  Use an '&' to seperate
each pair.  Basically replace your second '?' with a '&', like so:

<a href="helpdesk.cgi?action=test_modify&name=$unique_id">

As long as $unique_id is interpolated properly this should give you
what you were after.

Sorry for the earlier confusion.
