looking for a website coding geeks help :)

[Lone]

Im trying to set up a lottery website.

its in a very basic format as im trying to get things working before i make things look pretty and im using a mail form built in to my website provider.

so we have a list of numbers on 1 page each of which link to a ContactUs page with the number being displayed after the contactus address

so if someone clicks number one they will go through to www.address.com/lottery/ContactUs.html?1

as part of this form i want it to log which number has been selected currently the code looks like this

<form action="http://formmail.servage.net/" method=POST>
<input type=hidden name="id" value="18896">
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="FORM SUBJECT"> 
E-mail address:<br> <input type=text name="email" size=25><p> 
Your name:<br> <input type=text name="realname" size=25><p> 
Do you have a comment?:<br> <textarea COLS=60 ROWS=5 name="comment"></textarea> 
<p><input type=submit value="Submit"><input type=reset>
</form>

this code gives a few fields (Name/Email Address/Comment Box) it creates the page and then through the wonders of my website provider translates the page and then send a copy to an email address i specified when setting up the mail form (the only options when setting up the form are the delivery email address and the redirect page after the form has been submitted.)

Im currently waiting for the site providers to get back to me but they are taking a month of sundays and have more faith in you guys than in them.

Any help would be great




if theres a way of adding in a line like

Selected Number: <br><input type=hidden name="Selected Number" value="website_URL">

that would be cool but i dont know the correct term for the bit in red


thannks
