Create A URL To Default New Record Values....

How do you craft a URL to default field values on a new record that I want to create from a sidebar link?
 
For example, if I create a new child record from a parent object, the url I'm directed to is something like this:
na3.salesforce.com/a0O/e?CF00N50000001xQY6=Salesforce+Administration
 
Where CF00N50000001xQY6 seems to be some internal value for the parent record association and when the URL renders the parent record value is populated in the new edit record form.
 
So, how do I find out the id values for other fields I want to pass to this URL? For example, here is what I'm trying to do, but it does not work:
 
na3.salesforce.com/a0O/e?CF00N50000001xQY6=Salesforce+Administration&type__c=Question
 
Any ideas?
 
Also, how would I do this URL so that another page layout is displayed instead of the default page layout for a profile? How would I craft the URL to dictate which page layout is displayed and how do I find the ID for that page layout?
 
Thanks
