the stuff after the ".asp" is called the querystring, and you access it like this:

Code:
<%
Dim firstname
firstname = Request.QueryString("name")
%>

where the URL is something like www.something.com/page.asp?name=paulfp

on the page preceeding you could have something like this

Code:

<html>
<body>
<a href="http://www.domain.com/page.asp?id=about">about</a>
</body>
</html>

or

Code:

<html>
<script langauge="javascript">

</script>
<body>

<form action="http://www.domain.com/page.asp" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="home">
<input type="button" value="about" onclick="setID('about')">
<input type="button" value="home" onclick="setID('home')">
</form>

</body>
</html>

you would then have code like paulfp posted, and you could redirect or load content from there
