I have been surfing round for an answer to this for most of my morning and I must be not using the right search terms because I cant find anything close to what im after.
It could be something possibly easy or might need some JS, i'm not sure as I have never had to do this in a project.
Basically I have some staff profiles, each profile has a link to the contact page.
<a href="contact_form">Contact Steve</a>
On "contact_form" there will be a select setup with the staff names, what I want to know is there a way I can pass information through the url to change the select state to show the correct name in the select state automatically.
<select name="Recipient">
<option selected="selected" value="reception">Reception</option>
<option value="steve">Steve</option>
<option value="bob">Bob</option>
<option value="john">John</option>
</select>
So in this case when the user clicks on "Contact Steve" when they get to the form that "Steve" is selected rather than "Reception" which is selected by default.
Thanks
