Creating Affiliate Link

  1. I am creating a form that contains multiple fields for author and book title. I can use that to create an affiliate link for various bookstores.

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?keywords={Book Title:6}{Author Name:1}&index=books&linkCode=qs&tag=affiliatecode

    It seems to me that I could create these links dynamically without pasting multiple code over and over but I'm not certain in what direction to go.

    In creating a field that is populated dynamically, I understand that you name the parameter and then that parameter is used to later create content.

    So I would create a simple name field for "AuthorName" and label the parameter AuthorName1. Could I then create a single text form (amz_link) that is filled in with the affiliate code and uses the parameters of AuthorName and Book Name?

    Finally, I would call to that single text form (amz_link) in my post form? Is this the right direction or should I be trying something else?
