Passing paramter to HTML pages?

[Martin Chantler]

Hi,

I am rather a newbie at HTML and want to know is there an easy way to pass
parameters to an HTML page as I have seen URLs like this
http://Somepage.html?issue=336

Do I need to learn JavaScript, ASP etc. or can this be done in existing
HTML?

I want to pass a value to a page to change the content instead of
redesigning loads of pages, I want to have a basic page and load the
relevant info into that page. So if I change the design of the page I update
all the pages will very little effort.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

All the best,
Martin.

You're probably looking for a content management system or CMS. There are
some in using ASP, Access or Msql, check out www.hotscripts.com
or if you're on a linux machine with MySQL and PHP, check out
http://opensourcecms.com/

One the script is installed you don't even have to know html, you just
follow the guide. They make maintaining a web site easy.

If you looking for a free asp content management system, I've used
http://www.aspcontentmanagement.com it's easy to setup and use and
works well.
