Passing values to a VF Page via a Custom URL

Hello-

I know you can normally use a controller to do this - but I want to pass values from my custom button to my VF page.  AS of right now - I am unable to get the Priority field to show "High."

Any help?

Here is my custom button: 
/apex/EscalateIncident?&id={!Incidents__c.Id}&00Nn0000000Pp0u=High&retURL=%2F{!Incidents__c.Id}



Here is my VF Page: 
<apex:page standardController="Incidents__c">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Escalation Notes: {!Incidents__c.Name}">
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Escalation Notes" columns="1">
                <apex:inputField value="{!Incidents__c.Escalation_Notes__c}"/>
                <apex:outputField value="{!Incidents__c.Priority__c}"/>
                
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>
                <apex:commandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

On Custom Button choose  Content Source to URL and form the URL  with the parameters that you want to send.
Use appropriate behavior.

You can set the same above URL for your content source

/apex/EscalateIncident?&id={!Incidents__c.Id}&00Nn0000000Pp0u=High&retURL=%2F{!Incidents__c.Id}

From Custom Object, go to Buttons & Links, click on Edit for your new custom button.
