pass value from page to another pages form textbox

Hi,

I have a page filled with seminars that the users can sign up for. I also have links following each seminar that send the user to a register page with a form. On this form there is a seminar text box that the user must fill out with the appropriate seminar name in order to be registered.

I would like to have this seminar text box filled out with the seminar name automatically. Any ideas on how to do this?

<A HREF="register.cfm?seminar_name=#seminar_name#">

and on the register page have a query and a text box like this...

<INPUT type="text" name="seminar" value="#seminar_name#">

Additional Reminders:

%20 is equivalent to a single space

And:

For you link [disp.cfm?seminar=Seminar One], the value for the seminar correspond to the name of the seminar that you want to be displayed for your seminar textbox.

OK...
Best Wishes!!!

i will rather suggests u to do it in hidden variable.

like this

seminar selection page.

<script language="javascript">
function fndetail(myval){
document.frmtest.method="psot"
document.frmtest.hdnseminarname.value = myval
document.frmtest.action="seminardtls.cfm"
document.frmtest.submit()
}
</script>

<cfquery name="qryseminar" datasource="dsn">
select * from seminar
</cfquery>
<form name="frmtest">
<input type="hidden" name="hdnseminarname" value="">
<cfoutput query="qryseminar">
<a href="seminardtls.cfm" onclick="fndetail('#semianr_details#');return false;">#semianr_details#</a>
</cfoutput>
</form>

seminardtls.cfm
<cfparam name="seminarname" default="">
<cfif isDefined("form.hdnseminarname")>
<cfset seminarname= form.hdnseminarname>
</cfif>
<cfoutput>
Seminar Name :
<input type="text" name="txtseminarname" value="#seminarname#">
</cfoutput>

if u want to do it in url variable, don't forget to do urlencoding.

<a href="disp.cfm?seminar=URLEncodedFormat(seminar_name)">#seminar_name#</a></p>

refer it in details page for seminar name by url.seminar
