Hi list  
I really hate to ask for help and it seems that the simplest things are  
stumping me ☹

I’m trying to create a dynamic menu where a var is passed to expose the  
next section based on the link used like my example below. My question  
is what do I use to capture the y variable?

- 2006
- 2007

\<%  
year = ???  
if year == 2006  
printf “

- \<a href=”/2006/?s=help"\>Help
- \<a href=  
“/2006/?s=upload”\>Upload
- \<a href="?/2006/s=download  
“\>Download
”

elsif year == 2007  
printf “

- \<a href=”/2007/?s=help"\>Help
- \<a href=  
“/2007/?s=upload”\>Upload
- \<a href="/2007/?s=download  
“\>Download
”  
end  
%\>

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Peter
