How do I make an html anchor that does the ?info1=something&info2=somethingelse

Question

This is a simple HTML question, made more embarrassing (and harder to google) since I don't know the vocabulary.

I want to make a link that put additional information after the url:

www.example.com/page.html?variable=yes&page=5

How do I do this with a link? I know how to do it with a form.

Answer 1

<a href='http://www.example.com/page.html?variable=yes&amp;amp;page=5'&gt;Click me!</a>

I suspect this isn't what you were after...

Answer 2

The additional information after the question mark is called the query string. You can include the query string directly in your link:

<a href="http://www.example.com/page.html?variable=yes&amp;amp;page=5"&gt;example&lt;/a&gt;
