Hey guys,

How can I make it so a certain variable is sent when a hyperlink is clicked on?  
Before I had it so there was a drop down menu and you can select an option and click submit. But how can I make it so the link itself is the submit button and it automatically stores a certain value when clicked on!

Before I had something like this:

\<html\>  
\<body\>

\<form action=“randompage.html” method=‘post’\>  
\<select name=“cars”\>  
\<option value=“volvo”\>Volvo  
\<option value=“saab”\>Saab  
\<option value=“fiat”\>Fiat  
\<option value=“audi”\>Audi  
\<input type=‘submit’ value=‘Submit’ name=‘submit’\>  
\</select\>

\</form\>

\</body\>  
\</html\>

Now I want each of these to be hyperlinks which sent out their value once clicked on! This is so I can get rid of the drop down menu and submit button. Many thanks.
