> Couldn't you just build a form, hardcode in the regiments you're interested in as hidden fields, and then make a submit link instead of submit button? It's definitely a pain in the butt, but it would be invisible to the user (and Andy's caveat about it breaking down the road would obviously still apply).

Thanks to Cory and everyone else who replied on and off the list.
This confirms my suspicion that what I wanted to do is either not
possible or way more work than I had in mind.  If I have to put that
kind of time into it I'd rather ask for their data and manipulate it
myself, as some suggested.  I might do that after I finish testing the
rest of the project.

Thanks again for being such a great resource!
