Using link instead of a form?

[pqwabbit]

I just installed this nifty script that automatically searches for updates on my site - the instrucitons have it called from a form using a button - but I would realy like to just add a link to my main index like "What's New" (to www.massey.i-p-d.com/index.shtml so it blends in nice

it looks like this: www.massey.i-p-d.com/test.html

the form source has certain params in it that like directly relate to the fucniton so i dont know if I can do this another way -

<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="/cgi-bin/jawhatschanged.pl">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="base" VALUE="/usr/domain/massey/www/data">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="rbase" VALUE="http://www.massey.i-p-d.com">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Whats changed in the last 7 days">
</FORM>

it does a need a bitmore tweaking but i have to run to work!

thanx
Lea

Yeah, you should be able to. Your link would look something like this. The %2Fs are slashes and the %3A is a colon; just leave them the way they are here.
[ucode]<a href="http://www.massey.i-p-d.com/cgi-bin/jawhatschanged.pl?base=%2Fusr%2Fdomain%2Fmassey%2Fwww%2Fdata&rbas e=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.massey.i-p-d.c om">What's New</a>[/quote]

Answering the code tag problem: Fixed in 5.33, released the other day. Unfortunately 5.33 also introduced a bug that prevents UBB-code rendering in edited messages...
