I posted an answer that contained an error. To call a script from an
href one should say something like:
<a href="/cgi-bin/program_name?state_info=the_state">name</a>
In my last message I included a method statement which should not be
there. I originally wrote:
<a method=post href="/cgi-bin/program_name?state_info=the_state">name</a>
Thanks to Robert Hartill for pointing this out.
