I’m trying to find out what the actual link is to a news story on a client website.  
That way we can link to it from an email blast.

Anyhow, this is an example of the link in the source code

```auto
<A HREF='javascript:setHiddenFormValue(document.form.articleType,"personal"); 
	linksSubmit(document.form, document.form.articleNumber,9750);' onMouseOver='window.status="Click here to see complete article contents";return true'>more...</A>

```

Then there are the javascript functions

```auto
/ ********************************************************
* Prepares all information to click on the link and *
* go to viewArticle.cfm. *
********************************************************* /
function linksSubmit(formName, elementName, elementValue)
{
	setHiddenFormValue(elementName, elementValue);
	submitForm(formName);
}

/ ********************************************************
* Sets the value (passed as a param) of a *
* hidden form element (passed as a param) *
********************************************************* /
function setHiddenFormValue(elementName, elementValue)
{
	elementName.value = elementValue
}

/ ********************************************************
* Submits a form (passed as a param) *
********************************************************* /
function submitForm(formName)
{
	formName.submit();
} // submitForm

```

I have no idea how i could get to the same page with a url string. Is it even possible?
