Tina,

You may find my little variable passer useful. You can see it at

http://www.weedsmedia.com/cards/birthday/bdaymoper.htm?bd=tina

The HTML source is commented (though you have to find the actual file through
the frameset) and references the people whose code I hacked together to make it
work.

It works by parsing variables out of the URL. You (or your techies) could easily
write some basic CGI stuff to make it more automatic for actual client use. Show
it to your tech guys and they can help.

I wrote a long description of how it works to this list once and can repost it
if you like, but I believe Helen keeps an archive so you might want to check
there too.

Advantages to my setup is that it works in IE on the mac.

Hope that helps!
