Storing link text to a Cookie or Session Variable

[PA]

Another one of those "It sounds easy enough to do, but...."

I need to store the value/text displayed as a hyperlink to either a Cookie or
Session Variable, when the user clicks the link.

Any quick code samples or advise would be much appreciated!

Thanks

You can use the A tag to link to other pages. The HREF attribute is then
used to specify the page togo to. eg

<a href="<%=Session("foo")%>">

Thanks Jules,

I forgot to mention that the link is based on dynamic data. Here's a sample of
the code:

<a href="details.asp?<%= Server.HTMLEncode(MM_keepNone) &
MM_joinChar(MM_keepNone) & "id=" & rsRecentWork.Fields.Item("recordID").Value
%>" target="_blank">

<%=LEFT((rsRecentWork.Fields.Item("details").Value ),100)%>

I need to store the recordID value to a session after link is clicked - what
do I need to change to accomplish this?

Thanks again!

You need to request the recordID on the next page. It's not uncommon to send
a page to a "silent" page that records an ID into a DB, session, cookie,
etc... and then redirect the user to the appropriate page; the process is
silent and the user is unaware of being redirected.
