Hello all,

    We have a PHP form with a static <option> list, where people can request
a product sample.

http://www.superiorshelving.com/mfg/aigner/sample.php

    There are links on multiple pages that call this page.  I would like to
send a different default option to that form from each of those pages so
that the customer doesn't have to pop-up the list to choose it manually.  Of
course, if they go to that form directly, there shouldn't be a default.

    What would be the best way to handle this?  I'm thinking to have code
generate the list with the default undefined, and then have the links to
that page pass a variable to the form to set a default.  Does that sound
like it would work?

    Any other ideas are appreciated!
You could code the links as a form with the link like a submit button and the
default hard coded on each page.

Why a form? Just use an anchor tag. No need for a form/button. Well, I guess if you want to use a <button ..></button> element, you won't need a form.


Then on the product sample page check to see if the default is set, and if so,
use it.
