i found this really useful link for writing up a simple version of this type of form.
http://www.ibdjohn.com/sendurl/
i was wondering if there was a way i can simply pass on the value of the referring URL link as the URL to be sent to the friend. in other words, i'd like to be able to have one tell-a-friend form page , and have all my interesting, "tell-worthy" pages link to that page. instead of creating this form for each note-worthy page. any ideas, anyone?
