I would suggest using the GET method..
Unless you have some reason you don't want the data passed via GET..
In which case I suggest just storing all that in a session..
So for example, I wouldn't want to pass a big ugly html-encoded query
string via the GET URI, as it would look awful
Instead, set a session variable holding that query and any related details
you are also processing [ie user selected sorting of results
[ascending/descending] etc, fields to sort by, whatever options you have]
and just pass a 'pg' value via get
such as ./search.php?pg=2
or something..
As as alternative to the javascript form POSTing method..
Its up to you, I'm just providing an alternative to using Javascript which
as someone else outlined is CLIENT side, hence you are relying on correct
operation by the browser for it to work..
I don't like relying on the clients browser, I like relying on my code..
Enjoy

Thanks for the quick response, Bastien.
I was thinking that using hidden fields may be another way to go. But how
would I assign a value to a form variable via clicking on a link?
