Complete form field with hyperlink

[Wes]

I have searched the archives, so forgive me if this has
been discussed.

Is there any way to have a form field automatically
complete by using special syntax when creating a hyperlink?

I wanted to create a "remove" form for our customers, and
have the link automatically fill in the email_address
field on that remove form.

I don't know if FP can do this, but I have seen it done
like this:
http://www.domain.com/unsubscribe.html?
[email protected]

When the page loads, the email field is filled with
(e-mail address removed)

Thanks,
Wes

Hi,
If you have asp you might do
Link
http://you.com/[email protected]
and then
<input type="text" name="email" value="<%=request("email")%>">
If not you could use javascript
Link
http://you.com/[email protected]
<form>
<input type="text" name="email" value="">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
a=location.href;if(a.indexOf("=")>-1){a=a.split("=");
document.forms[0].email.value=a[1];}
</script>

Both do the same thing but use the server side method if you can
