Create a link to open a related page (ASP, JSP)
You can create a link that opens a related page and that passes existing parameters to that page. The server behavior
is only available when using the ASP or JSP server models.
Before adding a Go To Related Page server behavior to a page, make sure the page receives form or URL parameters
from another page. The job of the server behavior is to pass these parameters to a third page. For example, you can
pass search parameters received by a results page to another page and save the user from entering the search param-
eters again.
Also, you can select text or an image on the page to serve as the link to the related page, or you can position your
pointer on the page without selecting anything, and the link text is inserted.
1 In the Go To Related Page box, click Browse and locate the related page file.
If the current page submits data to itself, enter the current page's file name.
If the parameters you want to pass were received directly from an HTML form using the
2
in the page's URL, select the URL Parameters option.
3 If the parameters you want to pass were received directly from an HTML form using the
Form Parameters option.
4 Click OK.
When the new link is clicked, the page passes the parameters to the related page using a query string.
