Posting a link to a text field

[holla22]

I'm looking for a easy way that i can make a link that when you click on it, it posts a variable or a number value into a text field. All of this should be done in php.

Do any of you people know how to do this?

Thanks

Links cannot 'POST' variables, only forms can. However you can use a link to allow the text field to 'GET' a variable. Do you specifically need to use post?

What i'm trying to do is to have an image map. On the image is blocks with numbers and when you click on one of the blocks it should open a popup and then put that number in the text box on the popup form. You can have a look at this url: Tax Invest Properties

It should be a piece of cake.

Javascript solution inside popup:

<textarea id="Message" name="Message" rows="10" cols="10"></textarea>

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
	document.getElementById('Message').value="NUMBER";
-->
</script>

or when generating popup write it directly to textarea from PHP script

<textarea id="Message" name="Message" rows="10" cols="10">
<?php
echo $number_id; /* or via $_GET
?>
</textarea>
