Have a zero sized image on the page that is being served (doesn't need to
actually serve anything) from an ASP reference. You can then change the src
of the image to be the ASP page with a querystring thus allowing an
arbitrary ASP page to be executed (no return values of course).
Alternatively look at using a 'hidden' frame (eg. zero height), XMLHTTP,
dynamic embedded IFRAME, or the remote execution applet included with
Interdev (I think there are other).

I would like to have a link that when clicked, sends info to an ASP page to
process, but does not submit the entire page. This way, the user will
click on a link and will not be taken to another page, but precessing will
occur.
This is mainly for a 'Rating' Application.
Amazon.com does this and I want to know how they do it. Here is the link to
the amazon page (you may need to be logged in)

Any ideas besides a hidden frame or popping up a window to do the
processing?

Thanks,
Ariel
