It is difficult to do using html and java (if you are setting variable, I assume you are using some javascript).

You have a couple of options:
Setting a cookie or session varible using javascript
Embed the variable on the hyper link and then parsing it using java at the receiving end.

Let me know if you need more details...

>Kind of new to HTML... I set a variable, then use it to populate a textbox, then the user changes the value, then I want the variable to be the new value. But, the variable always gets reset to the original value each time the script runs. How do keep the variable value in sync with the value in the textbox. I do not want it to reset back to the default value when the submit is done.
