When is asked, "URL????" That was a request for a url to your website so
one can actually 'see' how you are trying to accomplish this.

Well it would not (should not) be done client-side, so JavaScript will
not be your answer but the CGI script (PHP, Perl, Python, whatever) you
are using to create the page and populate the table. Methods would be
via cookie, session or query string. It is how Yahoo does it and if you
are not using server-side scripting that maybe where your problem lies.
Of course if you would supply us a with URL we would know.
