how to pass variables from a jsp page to a jsp within an iframe

Hi,

I have a question about how to pass a variable from a jsp page (index.jsp) to a jsp page (test.jsp) that appears on the index.jsp page within an iframe.  If possible, I want to avoid using javascript because my app is for customers with extremely old computers/browsers.

My additional problem is I need the following to happen with the variable passed in:

When the variable is retrieved in test.jsp, the variable is used to query the database and display various data/links in the iframe.  I have the database stuff all working.

My problem is, that in the data displayed, I need to be able to include links (and I don't know how to format them), so when clicked, the link will redisplay the test.jsp page within the iframe, but this time instead of displaying the data from the original variable passed in from index.jsp, it instead uses a variable appended to the end of the link.  Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance!
