Quick help with linking HTML code
 

I forget how to do this: When I am on page test.html?a=1 and want to link to page test.html?a=2, but I don't want to use the test.html part (I want to link from anypage.html?a=1 to anypage.html?a=2 etc...to the next page), I USED to do this:

But now that seems to have stopped working. It goes to my root page with a=2. ie: http://www.mywebsite.com/?a=2 when what I really want it to do is go to http://www.mywebsite.com/test.html?a=2

I want to be able to add parameters to a page, without having to force the entire page in the URL so that it will correctly go to http://www.mywebsite.com/test.html?a=2. I forget how to do that.

I always thought that the rule was: that if the / is used, it goes from root URL, if not, it appends to current url. "/?a=2" is different than "?a=2" What I am getting, is a link that is behaving like a /?a=2 when what I want is ?a=2

What am I missing?

I think I know what your talking about. But not a 100% sure. Maybe this is what your looking for

Not exactly.

Im looking for this functionality:

<a href="http://www.test.com/page.html?a=1">page 1</a>
<a href="http://www.test.com/page.html?a=2">page 2</a>
<a href="http://www.test.com/page.html?a=3">page 3</a>
<a href="http://www.test.com/page.html?a=4">page 4</a>

But in this form as if it is on page.html:

<a href="?a=1">page 1</a>
<a href="?a=2">page 2</a>
<a href="?a=3">page 3</a>
<a href="?a=4">page 4</a>

In other words, I don't want to have to make every page, know what page it is on. I just want:

<a href="whatever page we are on, plus a=1">page 1</a>
<a href="whatever page we are on, plus a=2">page 2</a>
<a href="whatever page we are on, plus a=3">page 3</a>
...

This works fine in IE, but not in Firefox, which means I need to make it work always. For some reason, Firefox is taking all links as absolute links and not relative links...

the code sample you show is correct and should work fine, just checked and it works here

<a href="#?a=2">Next</a>

probably a browser thing. will this work? (didn't test it)

I am sorry but you are not allowed to link codes that way since your CP conviction back in 93 aren't I right?

Nope, doesn't work.

Here is the page:

Click on the "Videos" tab, in Firefox. It should take you to

But instead it takes you to

I hate FireFox. Why can't they just make agood browser like IE?...
