 Well I guess I don't mind using a form, but I have a few hundred links
 on the page and didn't think it would be efficient to create a hidden
 field for each potential link. I instead just want to send the data
 that is clicked on. For example here is how you use the applciation:
 
 
 Name     Low     Med.     High
 Test     100     980      203
 Test1    433     656      135
 Test2    118     313      733
 Test3    952     416      518
 Test4    205     813      465
 Test5    425     556      324
 Test6    113     131      943
 Test7    291     767      304
 ....
 
 
 This goes on for a few hundred rows.... You can currently click on any
 number, which passes a list of underlying numbers to another .php
 script which gives you more details. So if you click on 100, it goes
 to another script passing a comma separated list of 100 cases.
