I have the following line of code on my page.

\<input type=“text” size=“1” name=“CartQty”\>

Its not inside form tag.  
On clicking a link, i want to get the value of “CartQty” and pass it as query string. I dont want to use a button for that reason.  
How can i get the value of “CartQty”?? Is it possible to do so???
