PHP & JAVASCRIPT ARG!!!

[Anon]

IS there any Grand Master of JavaScript and php and knows how to pass a OnMouseDown variable to a php (ex:$click ) variable?

Cause I want to send informattion to php without having to use a <form> <input..></form>
I don't like those buttons! beurk! 😉

ex: <a onMouseDown="setVar("yo.html")"> YO!</a>

and then have
<script>
function setVar(page){
<? $click = "page"?>
}
</script> ...
I know this doesn't work cause PHP is compiled before Javascript so I would have to do the inverse..
but how?.

tanx!

Have you tried using document.location and appending the varialble to the url?

ex:
<a onClick="javascript:setVar('yo')">Yo!</a>

<script>
function setVar(var){
document.location="samePage.php?page="+var
}
</script>
