If id=21 is important, you'll need to get the information to the page.  You
essentially have 4 options:

1.  Post to the page from a form and pass id=21 as a hidden field.
2.  Use something like isapi_rewrite so you can make the URL look like
http://www.xxx.com/21/
3.  Encrypt the 21 and pass it in the URL, such as
http://www.xxx.com/?id=ak492jdjk395jd
4.  Use FRAMES... ugh.

Good luck,
