Prepopulating drop down menus using URL

[imported_j_h]

I am currently working on a website:

http://www.pocketdialuk.com/justdial.htm

This page contains an Iframe from which a country can be selected to display its corresponding rate and access number.

Is it possible to create a URL that will direct customers to this page with a particular country preselected?

e.g. where clicking on a link like this: http://www.pocketdialuk.com/justdial.htm?italy

could cause the Iframe on the landing page to be prepopulated with italy as its selection for instance?

How is this best done?

Would really appreciate some help.

Cheers,

Sophie

Without seeing the stuff that generates the rates..
(or looking to closely at the pages' source.. )

You could load the countries in an array..
Walk the array to create a <select> or some other list thingy..

Then..
when Arraycountry==URLcountry echo 'SELECTED'
or the pass the country id.. or whatever the trigger is for the rates..

exact coding will depend on the language used..
