How can i do this , very simple

[visualkreations]

I a few pages for products ,
in each product page there is a contact button ,
you click on it and it takes you to a contact page.

In the contact page there are a few fields (name , email , interested in , message)


I need it so when i click on the contact button from the products page the Interested in field is automatically typed in what product it came from.


Thanks.

You could use referer, but that can't be relied on 100% of the time. Maybe a GET var?

[eldacar]

A GET (ie, in the url) variable sounds like the best way. This should be done server side, not with javascript.

[Mittineague]

IMHO if the GET var is only going to be used to fill in a form input js would be OK. Even if someone crafted an "attack" eg. ...contact_page.html?referrer_page=htpasswd
it wouldn't cause any security issues, just a misleading form input value. Of course this could lead to the development of a bad habit of not taking security concerns seriously, but if you and anyone that uses this code knows and is aware of possible consequences I think in this use it should be OK.
