[FX.php List] Simple question that's stumping me...

This is almost correct.  Specifying model=123 is the same as  
inputting a value in a simple one-field form where *method="GET"*.   
These variables will appear in the $_GET array.  To pass $_POST  
variables you must submit a form.

There was a thread last week talking about ways to pass $_POST  
variables by clicking a link.  The method that was suggested in that  
thread was to have a form with a hidden field, then create a link  
that submits the form from javascript.

Hope this helps.

Best regards

Steve Hannah
