I have a form that I would like the current url used to fill in one
box. I have a piece of software that generates a unique number for the
computer and I use that number to generate a key to unlock software.
It generates the number and adds it ot he end of the url.
www.mysite.com/keycode.htm?1234-5678 I would like this code to be in a
form to be mailed back to me along with other info that they would
fill out.
 
In html view in the form before the field

OK I think I have it in the correct location but somehow it still does
not work. I must be missing something somewhere. Here is a test
version of the form
http://www.tracsoftdesign.net/blrsafetytrac/key_request.htm?1234-5678
that may help in being able to find out what I am doing wrong.
