Re: CGI with hyperlink

I am currently using Euphoria, mysql, and CGI to access my cooking recipe database online. I have a simple form where a user can search recipes by different criteria, and the EU code returns an HTML page with the results. What I would like is for the results to have the ingredients as hyperlinks, so when clicked can search the database for other recipes with that ingredient. An example result would be:
| Recipe Name | Katsu Pork |
| Ingredient | Pork |
| Ingredient | Rice |
Can I setup another form that uses the hyperlinks somehow as the post criteria? Or is there another method?
Happy Holidays!

The nicest way is just to modify your CGI to be able to accept HTTP GET as well as HTTP POST, and then the hyperlink would just go to "/cgi.ex?search=Pork"
Alternatively, you can use javascript to create a hyperlink that can send a true HTTP POST request.
