Re: autopopulating fields

What I usually do, is that when I choose an item to view - in your case, the kanji - I store the chosen id in the session. Then any other action I can do from the View page that concerns the current kanji, just grabs the id from the session. No need to use a hidden field, that a user migth change in the browser.

The id is removed from the session, when I return to the list.

Enjoy, John

I am working on a site to help me (and hopefully others) learn Japanese kanjis.  The site is located at http://galacticcartel/kanjis (temporary url). 

I want to make it so when I am viewing a kanji (example http://www.galacticcartel.com/kanjis/view/1) and I click New example I would like the kanji field to auto populate with the correct id (which I would hide).
