The details here are a little sketchy. What are we looking at here
above? Is this the form you are trying to pass info TO? My guess is
that you are trying to fill ni the urltocheck input (which has no
NAME attribute btw, and will break in older browsers - although you
may not care). Are you using a server side scripting language? That's
really the best way to pass information from one page to another,
preferably using POST variables from your form.

In which case you just pull that variable out of your request object
and place it right into your form field. Can you provide some more
info or a URL for us to look at?
